      Environment Details

      Browser: Tested against Firefox and Google Chrome.

      OS: Arch Linux with KDE and Gnome (Wayland).

      Issue Summary

      When pressing [Alt]+[number] to switch to tabs in a browser, Jira simultaneously navigates to the section associated with the number. For example, [alt] + [1] switches to the first tab, but also navigates Jira to the backlog, as [1] is the keyboard shortcut to navigate to the backlog. This issue is reproducible on Linux but is not reproducible on MacOS.

      Steps to Reproduce

      1. Open 3 tabs in Firefox. (This also affects Google Chrome on Linux)
      2. Browse to a Scrum board.
      3. Press [alt] + [number] to switch to another tab in the browser.

      Expected Results

      The browser switches to a different tab without affecting Jira.

      Actual Results

      The browser switches to a different tab but Jira also navigates to the section associated with the number. For example, [alt] + [1] navigates to the backlog while switching the tab.

      Workaround

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