Accessible diff viewer up/down focuses out of accessible diff view #251043

Description

@anthonykim1

Normally, with the accessible diff viewer, pressing arrow key down will move the focus inside the accessible diff view, but focus on the lines below.

There is a bug where the focus rather moves to different cell rather than inside the accessible diff view, leaving screen reader user confused.

Note: Screen reader optimized mode is enabled to repro the issue.

Python file (correct behavior where focus moves inside accessible diff viewer):
