Understand, was planning on more systematically working through the entire UI.
Will update/reopen with any additional keyboard navigation issues I find.

Regards GTK wrapper navigation of the Styles & Formatting panel. Understand it
comes in as baggage with the existing frame <F11>, but the sidebar focus
"navigation" landing in the panel with the Paragraph toolbar and its tree list
active seems inconsistent for keyboard use of the sidebar. Inconsistency
impacts accessibility.

So while it does not matter too much for GUI users of mouse navigation, for
keyboard navigation it would be more consistent to land on the Panel title ->
and <TAB> onto toolbar buttons (Paragraph would be expected as it is the first
on the toolbar), rather than dropping directly into the Paragraph tree list.  

And landing focus on the Toolbar buttons then makes cursor navigation between
the Paragraph, Character, Frame, Page, List styles consistent. Again GUI users
are not affected as they point and click--keyboard users, especially for AT
require consistent behavior.

Not clear to me how much of the Styles and Formatting panel is simple wrapper
of the <F11> GUI frame, but there do seem to be keyboard navigation UX issues
in existing GUI as well.
