[JetStream] Navigating up to top menu bar should focus active menu tab not the profile icon #166

Navigating up to the top bar from the top left most item on the home screen catalog will move focus to the profile icon instead of the active top menu item. This is not very logical from a user experience perspective.

I think the problem is caused by the fact that the profile icon is closer to the top left item of the catalog which causes android to choose it to focus next.

See this video that shows the problem:

The carousel has been removed for this video but the same problem can be seen on the favourites tab where navigating up from the the Movies chip will focus the profile icon whist all other chips will focus the Favourites tab item.
