Description

The SLDS docs state:

When triggered, user focus should be placed on the first focusable element that isn't the close button. If the close button is the only focusable element, focus should be placed there

It doesn't seem like that's been implemented here?

Research direction

Start by locating the popover implementation and comparing its opening behavior with the SLDS popover focus requirement linked in the issue. Verify that focus moves to the first focusable element other than the close button, or to the close button when it is the only option, and add or update coverage for these cases.
