Description

Whenever my keyboard focus is on a dropdown list, like the sort order selector, pressing shortcuts doesn't do anything. Pressing escape while on a dropdown list doesn't clear its focus either.

Research direction

Reproduce the issue by focusing the sort-order dropdown, then pressing a shortcut and Escape. Trace the application's keyboard shortcut and focus handling from that interaction. Done means shortcuts work while a dropdown has focus and Escape clears the dropdown focus.
