Description

Using Tab to navigate the elements of The Combine, you can highlight the user avatar in the App Bar and press Enter to open the User Menu, but then neither Tab nor Enter nor arrow keys do anything. Arrow keys (and maybe Tab) should move within the menu. (Esc closes the Menu, but perhaps Enter should too if nothing has been highlighted within the menu.)

Research direction

Start at the AppBar avatar and User Menu entry points, then reproduce the keyboard sequence described in the issue: Tab to the avatar, press Enter, and try Tab, Enter, and arrow keys. Done means keyboard focus can move within the opened menu and the documented closing behavior works, including Esc and any agreed Enter behavior.
