Test file STR: - Open attached file - Click on the "click here" text - Press shift+tab Expected result: - Focus should move to the button Actual result: - Focus stays on the div Reproduces in Epiphany 49.2 (which possibly has an old version of WebKit so maybe it has been fixed since…) I think what's happening here is that the sequential focus navigation starting point is set inside the div but before any other focusable elements, so going backwards from it, the first thing you find is the div.

Reproduces in Safari, too, with the adjustment that expected behavior on macOS is to move to address bar, not to the button.
