Comment:

 In WordPress 5.5, the tag list options had a negative `tabindex` and the
 focused option had a `ui-state-focus` class that no longer applies. In 5.6
 and 5.7 beta, the focused item continues to have `aria-selected="true"`,
 though.

 [attachment:"52408.patch"] simply applies the same `ui-state-focus` styles
 to the `aria-selected` attribute so the selection is indicated visually.

 The Block editor's tag autocomplete is different, and I did not have any
 trouble there.

 To test the patch, please check both the Classic editor post tags the
 Quick Edit tag selection (steps are in comment:6 and comment:7).
