Steps to reproduce

  1. Open any page.
  2. Paste setInterval(() => console.log(document.activeElement), 1024) into the console.
  3. Focus the viewport.
  4. Press tab repeatedly.

Expected outcome

Each time tab is pressed, the active element in the console should change. Depending on the page you test on, you should also see the visual focus indicator move forwards through the UI.

Screen recording where tab is pressed every second and a different element is logged each time

Actual outcome

Each time tab is pressed, the active element is still the <body> tag afterwards.

Screen recording where the same <body> tag is logged each second despite the tab keypresses

Recommendation

Remove the ev.preventDefault() call from the <App /> component's tab keydown event listener.
