Issue Summary

User profile button receives dual focus and requires an extra Tab press before focusing expanded content.

Steps to Reproduce

1. Open the Confluence Cloud homepage.
2. Using the "Tab" key, navigate to the "User profile" button in the header.
3. Activate the button using the "Space" or "Enter" key.
4. Observe that the menu expands, but an additional focus indicator is displayed on the "User profile" trigger button.
5. Press "Tab" once → the extra focus ring disappears, but focus remains on the trigger and does not move into the expanded content.
6. Press "Tab" a second time → focus finally moves to the first interactive element inside the expanded content.

Actual Results

When the "User profile" button is activated, the menu expands but the trigger button displays dual focus indicators. Pressing “Tab” once removes the secondary focus ring, but focus remains stuck on the container rather than moving into the expanded menu. This occurs because the wrapper <div> enclosing the expanded menu options has tabindex="0".

As a result, an extra “Tab” press is required to reach the first actionable menu item, creating an unnecessary tab stop for keyboard-only and screen reader users.

Expected Results

Ensure keyboard focus follows a logical sequence without redundant tab stops. Only a single, clear focus indicator should be visible on the "User profile" button. Upon activation, focus should move directly to the first actionable menu item without intermediate stops. Specifically, remove tabindex="0" from the expanded content's container <div> to eliminate the redundant tab stop.

Workaround

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