Comment:

 Thanks very much Gab :) Couldn't test on a Mac and the video is excellent,
 finally got what's happening here.

 Accessibility team: rather than try to patch this bug, maybe we could take
 the opportunity to experiment with ARIA tab interfaces? The practical
 advantage of ARIA tab interfaces is that they allow users to switch focus
 between the currently selected tab and its related panel without having to
 cycle through all the other tabs. Switching tabs is generally controlled
 with left/right arrow keys. Mr. Zehe suggests to

 use the Space bar to trigger the switch.]
 Screen readers also announce the number of available tabs.
