Actual Results

When the "Cancel" button is activated to close the new content, the focus does not return onto the triggering "Continue" button. It instead moves at the top of the page. This illogical focus order might make the page difficult to understand for the keyboard and screen reader users.

Expected Results

Make sure that the focus returns to the element that triggered the content. Make sure that when the user dismisses the new content, the focus returns onto the triggering element. This can be done with the “focus” method. For similar examples, please refer “https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/HTMLOrForeignElement/focus”

Workaround

Currently there is no known workaround for this behavior. A workaround will be added here when available
