Description
Originally by roth@hlp.de
If you have a closable Window or Popup and tab the focus to the
close buton, tabstop.top or tabstop.bottom (They have tabindex set in DOM tree).
You can not close the window with the Key.
If you Tab to an index inside the scrollable or the scollable itself, you can close the window.
Additional, you can not press ENTER or SPACE to trigger the close button if it has the focus (like a normal button or link).
For Usibility its also strange to have 2 Tab in front with no visual response (scrollable and tabStop.top) and one at the end (tabStop.bottom).

Research direction
Reproduce the issue using a closable Window or Popup, focusing the close button, tabstop.top, tabstop.bottom, the scrollable area, and the scrollable itself. Trace the Window or Popup keyboard and focus handling; done means ESC closes it from every relevant focus target and ENTER or SPACE activates a focused close button.
