Description
When we only have arrow navigable groups, the tabbing stops at the last group. We expect it to go out to the browser controls, or in the fullscreen case, cycle back to the first navigable group.
In this example: https://codesandbox.io/s/blissful-http-9r31z0?file=/example.tsx if you keep tabbing, you can see that the tabbing stops at the last group of arrow navigable group. Note: you need to open the example page itself to see this happening: https://9r31z0.csb.app/
To extra clarify: when we are at fullscreen, we expect that the first tab goes to the first group, the second tab goes to the second group, the third goes back to the first group and so on. But currently, the third and subsequent tabs will just stay on the last group.
I've tried exploring the useArrowNavigationGroup and useFocusableGroup hooks to see if there is something there we can use to achieve this, but no success.
Is this a bug? Any suggestions?

Research direction
Start by reproducing the behavior in the linked deployed CodeSandbox example, then read the useArrowNavigationGroup and useFocusableGroup hooks mentioned in the issue. Trace how tabbing is handled when only arrow-navigable groups exist, including fullscreen mode. Done means tabbing leaves the group to browser controls or cycles through the groups as described.
