Actual Result
The sub-menu links within the "Repositories" dropdown such as "Text-styles apple OS common", "Atlassian-account-IOS Apple OS common", and so on recently viewed repositories, are inaccessible for keyboard-only and screen reader users. In fact the sub-menu links are not reachable via tab or up/down arrow keys. This will result in difficulty for keyboard-only and screen reader users to access the sub-menu links within the dropdown.
Expected Result
Ensure that the sub-menu links are reachable and operable via keyboard. In this case, when the user activates the mentioned dropdown, the user should be able to traverse through sub-menu links using keyboard navigation.
For instance: Once the dropdown is activated, the sub-menu links should be navigable either via up/down arrow keys or tab key.
To achieve this, Modify the keyboard handling events to attain the expected behavior.

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