Issue Summary
Focus does not return to the triggering element after closing the "Why am I seeing this?" dialog.
Steps to Reproduce

- Using a screen reader, navigate to the "More actions" button and activate it.
- Select the "Why am I seeing this?" option and activate it -> a dialog appears.
- Close the dialog by activating the "Ok" button.
- Observe that focus moves inappropriately to the begining of the page.

Actual Results
Upon closing the "Why am I seeing this?" dialog, the programmatic focus does not return to the triggering element. Initially, focus is lost, and the screen reader (JAWS) announces the dialog's heading. Subsequently, when the Tab key is pressed, focus jumps to the "Skip to: Top bar" link rather than returning to the triggering "More actions" button.
This requires screen reader users and keyboard-only users to tab past the content on the page before they can interact with the content after the triggering element.
Expected Results
The programmatic focus of users should be set on the triggering element of the dialog as soon as the dialog is closed.
In this scenario, after closing the "Why am I seeing this?" dialog, focus should return to the triggering "More actions" button.
Set the keyboard focus to the triggering element of the dialog using the JavaScript .focus().
