Comment:

 This problem has already been fixed, to the best degree possible in
 WordPress core.

 When the admin toolbar is active, it appears at the top of the screen, and
 needs to receive focus before the rest of the page. To do this, the first
 element in the toolbar is given a tabindex of 1 if the code is rendered in
 the footer - which is where it was rendered for a long time.

 When WordPress core added the `wp_body_open()` theme function in version
 5.2.0, the rendering of the admin bar was moved to the top of the page if
 that function was present in the theme, and tabindex is no longer assigned
 in that case.

 So this is actually a problem in your theme, which needs to add the
 `wp_body_open()` function right after the opening `body` element.

 Here's the dev note announcing the new hook:

 hook/

 See #50702.
