Expected Behavior

Keyboard focus should not move on to some hidden item, while navigating via tab key inside Command palette window.
Expected focus order : after 'Type a command name' edit, focus should move on to 'First command' & then after pressing tab key focus should land on 'Type a command name' edit', .......

Actual Behavior

Actual focus order is : First focus is landing on 'Type a command name' edit & then after moving on to 'First command' & then on pressing tab key focus is moving on to hidden element'.
-->When 'Settings' tab is open, when focus is on 'Hidden element' - On pressing enter, focus is landing on 'Close/open' navigation button.
-->When 'Windows power shell' is open, when focus is on 'Hidden element'- on pressing enter, focus is landing on 'Power shell'.
