Description

In Zola preview, when trying to navigate the main nav menu with a tab key, it skips Ecosystem. It should not skip it but open the dropdown menu and tab through the dropdown menu items. This is an accessibility issue.

Research direction

Start by running the Zola preview and navigating the main nav with the Tab key in a browser. Inspect the Ecosystem menu entry and its dropdown focus behavior; done means Ecosystem receives focus, opens as intended, and its items can be reached by keyboard without skipping.
