BUG - sev-2 - All - Keyboard navigation on subtasks, large panels, cancel popups often goes to hidden layers, gets stuck

[TKDickson]

What happened?

Keyboard navigation on both iOS and Android will navigate 'behind' the panel on subtasks, large panels, and cancel popups. Often on iOS you can still get to the desired content/actions; on Android it's more difficult (and sometimes not possible, depending on the screen).

Here's updating contact info on Android, with keyboard. The times when I'm 'stuck' for a long while and then magically get unstuck, it's because I've used my finger to tap directly onto the screen (obviously not a viable workaround for users).

I tested this with iOS 18 and I'm still seeing the issue. I can reliably use the tab key to place focus on the Cancel button, but using the arrow keys frequently navigates behind the large panel in front.
