Description
Expected behavior
I am able to focus the confirmation button within the media selection modal.
Actual behavior
I am unable to focus the confirmation button within the media selection modal, I can only select an invisible "Browse for items" button.
Steps to reproduce the behavior
- Open the block editor.
- Enable TalkBack.
- Add a media block type, e.g., Image block.
- Select "Choose from device."
- Select an image.
- Attempt to swipe left to step towards the "confirm" button.
Screen recording
[!NOTE]
A workaround is directly tapping on the "confirm" button instead of stepping to the control via swipes. This approach may not be accessible for some users.
Tested on Samsung Galaxy S20, Android 13, JPAndroid / WPAndroid 23.9-rc-2

Research direction
Start by reproducing the issue in the block editor with TalkBack, following the media block and "Choose from device" flow on Android. Inspect the media selection modal and its accessibility focus order; done means swiping through controls reaches the confirmation button instead of an invisible "Browse for items" button.
