I've never much used full keyboard access, but from what I've read on the
list (and from my own experience exactly as others have described), I can
draw two conclusions:

1. with FKA on, if you start tabbing between UI elements, you expect not
to get stuck in a dead end.  Ergo, there is a bug.

2. half a dozen people have brought this up with head-scratching since
the PM5 beta, while nobody mentioned it with PM 4 or earlier.  Ergo, it's
a new bug.

Especially in light of #1, saying "turn off full keyboard access" is akin
to the old joke:

Patient: Doctor, it hurts when I do this!
Doctor: Well, don't do it then!

isn't it?
