Description

### Product

axe-core

### Product Version

4.8.4

### Latest Version

- [X] I have tested the issue with the latest version of the product

### Issue Description

#### Expectation
Search results are accessible using keyboard up and down arrow keys so it should not flag it as failed.

#### Actual
Scrollable component accessible using keyboard up and down arrow keys is flagged failure for scrollable-region-focusable rule.

#### How to Reproduce
1. Go to https://microsoft.github.io/rats/
2. Download extension and FastPass run: https://accessibilityinsights.io/. The error relates to the search box. If you search commands you can scroll through results, so the error is probably a false positive. This extension uses axe-core for accessibility scan.

#### Additional context
Please refer https://github.com/squidfunk/mkdocs-material/issues/7193 and https://github.com/microsoft/accessibility-insights-web/issues/7338 for additional details on the issue.
