      Actual Result

      The programmatic focus remains on the triggering element itself when the "Columns" dialog appears. Even though dialog is visible on the screen after the triggering element, the content is available at the end of the page for keyboard-only and screen reader users. As a result, screen reader users and keyboard-only users to tab pass the content on the page before they can interact with the non-modal dialog.

      Expected Result

      Make sure that the programmatic focus should be set on the first logical element of the dialog as soon as dialog appears.

      Workaround

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