Description

Ref: https://www.w3.org/TR/WCAG21/#focus-order

Keyboard navigation is not clear enough: there are some empty navigation points available. Besides this forward navigation results are not the same with backward navigation: navigation jumps suddenly to other unexpectedly navigation point.
