Unable to shift+tab from post title #69486

Description

When editing a post in "post-only" mode and the post title is focused then shift+tab doesn’t allow navigating out of the canvas. This happens in Gutenberg trunk and 6.8 beta1 whereas in 6.7 it doesn’t. In 6.7 it takes two-steps to get out of the canvas and that may not be ideal but at least it’s possible.

The expectation is that the "Options" button is focused when pressing shift+tab from the post title.

Step-by-step reproduction instructions

  1. Open a post in "post-only" view
  2. Move focus into the post title
  3. Press shift+tab repeatedly
  4. Confirm that it’s not possible to navigate out of the canvas
