Description

### Steps to reproduce

To reproduce, you can press "TAB" key and see what elements are focused. It will skip the list of contact and move from "recently visited rooms" directly to "add" button and then to "room info" part, skipping the list.

The interesting thing is that the list becomes available after clicking on it with a mouse. However, this is very inconvenient form blind users.

It used to work in the past, it got broken maybe in may 2023 or something like that.

### Outcome

#### What did you expect?

That I will be able to focus the room list.

#### What happened instead?
The room list got skipped.
