Actual Results

When users activate the "Assign to me" button from the "Details" section or the "Delete" button from the "More actions" menu within the comment section, keyboard focus unexpectedly moves to the top of the page instead of remaining within the current focus sequence.

As a result, keyboard-only and screen reader users are required to navigate through previously encountered content to return to their original location and continue interacting with the page.

Expected Results

Keyboard focus should remain within the current interaction flow and move to the appropriate control or next logical interactive element after activation.

Apply the following changes:

• Retain the keyboard focus on the "Assignee" input filed when "Assign to me" button is activated.
• When "Delete" button is activated from the comment section the keyboard focus should move to "More actions" button.
