Research direction
Start by reproducing the issue in Cinnamon's accessibility settings app on Linux Mint 20.3, using both arrow keys and Tab to move from the tabs into their content. Inspect how focus moves between the tab pages and content, then verify that keyboard navigation can reach and operate the controls within each page.
