Public bug reported:
Hi there,
I have recently found that the Ubuntu installer's timezone selection in
26.04 LTS isn't navigable by keyboard, even though it used to be as of
Ubuntu 24.04 LTS. This looks to be a bug, because attempting to navigate
past the timezone selection with the TAB key just results in a brief
flicker back to the timezone selection again.
I believe this is important as it would prevent keyboard users from
installing Ubuntu.
I haven't attached logs as I don't believe they are relevant or would
have even been created at this stage. If I'm wrong I'm happy to do it
again and send the logs. I have, however, attached a screen recording
showing the problem.
