      Issue Summary

      After upgrading Jira Data Center from 10.3.22 to 10.3.24, keyboard navigation in the Assign dialog is broken. When a user selects an assignee, pressing the Tab key skips the Comment field entirely, preventing users from quickly adding a comment while assigning the issue.

      Steps to Reproduce

      1. Log in to a Jira Data Center instance running version 10.3.24.
      1. Open any existing Jira issue.
      1. Click the Assign button (or press the keyboard shortcut 'a' or 'e' or click on edit).
      1. In the Assignee field, type a name or select a user from the dropdown.
      1. Press the Tab key on your keyboard to move to the next field.

      Expected Results

      The keyboard focus should move into the Comment text area, allowing the user to immediately begin typing a comment.

      Actual Results

      The keyboard focus skips the Comment field and jumps to the next UI element (typically the Assign or Cancel buttons at the bottom of the dialog).
