Description

When opening the popup of a component with Alt (Windows)/Option (Mac) + Down Arrow, the focus does not move to the popup in Chrome. In Firefox, the focus may move only when one segment is focused.

If all segments are focused (for example, when tabbing into the component for the first time) and the popup is opened, the date inside the popup does not receive focus. Sometimes, the focus moves randomly after opening and closing the popup multiple times.

Steps To Reproduce

Install NVDA and open one of our online examples. Focus the input of the specific component and use Alt/Option + down arrow and try to navigate the popup using the Calendar navigation.
