Narrator focus is moving on to 'Shortcuts' present in 'actions' tab un-necessarily in scan mode..zip

Expected Behavior

As Narrator is reading the 'shortcut' information along with the 'Action' name, there is no need of moving Narrator focus to 'Shortcuts' present in 'actions' tab separately in scan mode.

Actual Behavior

On Navigating using down arrow key, focus is moving on to entire action & shortcut, Narrator is reading the entire information of action & shortcut. But, on pressing down arrow key further - focus is moving on to 'Shortcut' again.
