Keyboard Access and Focus
Brief Description
The user can access search functionality by clicking on the magnifying glass icon on the top right of the page. However, if the user attempts to focus the magnifying glass via Tab or Shift + Tab, focus skips it; users limited to keyboard access cannot close the menu.
Steps to reproduce
00:00, Go to the home page and set focus to a header item before the magnifying glass
00:03, Begin hitting the Tab key until the magnifying glass icon should be in focus
00:07, Set focus to a body element, then use Shift + Tab to back up until the magnifying glass should be in focus
Desired Result
At least one of Steps 2, 3 brings focus to the search icon.
