 There are a couple of keyboard focus issues around the Add a Widget button
 in Customizer > Widgets.

 I'm noticing different behaviours on Chrome 35 and Firefox 30 - both
 running on Windows 7 64 bit.

 In Chrome 35:
 - Tab to Appearance > Customize > Widgets > Any Widget Area
 - Tab to the Add a Widget Button and press Enter
 - Focus is now clearly within Search widgets box of the extra panel.
 - Press Shift + Tab to tab back to Add a Widget button and Press Enter.
 - Focus has now gone somewhere unexpected and then appears at bottom of
 site page being shown in Customizer

 Expected result:
 I would expect the focus to stay on the Add a Widget button.

 In Firefox, a slightly different result appears.
 - Tab to Appearance > Customize > Widgets > Any Widget Area
 - Tab to the Add a Widget Button and press Enter
 - Focus is now clearly within Search widgets box of the extra panel.
 - Press Shift + Tab to tab back to Add a Widget button and Press Enter.
 - Focus is now at bottom of site page being shown in Customizer

 Expected result:
 I would expect the focus to stay on the Add a Widget button.
