Attachment:
Users are not able to navigate among the suggestions using keyboard.zip
Expected Behavior
Users should be able to navigate through the font suggestions using the up and down arrow keys without the list closing prematurely. The focus should remain within the list until a selection is made or the user navigates away.
Actual Behavior
When focus lands on the 'Font face' edit field and suggestions appear, pressing the up or down arrow keys immediately selects the first option from the suggestion list and closes the list. Users cannot browse through the available font suggestions using the keyboard.
