In the current implementation of
AnchoredOverlay, the behavior for when to activate focus trapping is fairly complicated. If the user clicks or presses space/Enter to open the overlay, focus stays on the anchor. They can then use up/down arrow, enter, or tab to move focus into the overlay. If, however, they press up/down on the anchor initially, focus immediately moves into the overlay. In initial development, this felt like a good approach. However, real use has uncovered some corner cases which indicate the complex initial state might not be worth it. In particular, some newActionMenus that also include a text input, as well as theSelectPanel, need focus to be trapped as soon as the overlay is opened. The easiest solution is to simply always move focus into the overlay, rather than conditionally starting focus on the anchor.Closes #1210
