Actual Results

After activating the "Show 3 more replies" button in the comments section, keyboard focus moves to the top of the page instead of moving to the newly expanded replies. On the next Tab key press, focus moves correctly to the newly added reply.

As a result, keyboard-only and screen reader users are required to press Tab an additional time to reach the expanded replies, creating an unexpected and inefficient navigation experience.

Expected Results

Make sure that the focus is managed appropriately.

In this scenario, when the user activates the "Show 3 more replies" button the focus should move on to the newly added replies.

Workaround

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