+++ This bug was initially created as a clone of Bug #1752013 +++

Seen on 102.0a1 (2022-05-17) (64-bit), Win10

STR:

  1. Open ("new") Address Book
  2. Click to select contact A
  3. Press Tab four times to focus Edit button (only way to edit, see Bug #1752013)
  4. Press Enter to edit contact
  5. Press Esc (or click Cancel button)

Actual results:

  • No visible focus point
  • Keyboard focus lost and hard to get back (press Tab many times...)
  • Orientation lost for the blind

Expected results:

  • Restore a visible focus
  • Probably focus the Edit button because that's where we came from (otherwise on the contact in the list)
  • Personally, I would probably expect the same for clicking Cancel button (per focus follows mouse), but there seems to be another school of thinking that mouse users don't care about keyboard focus and thus focus indication can be skipped, which is not true imo.
