I hadn't noticed this until I read your posts. As someone said, tabbing should take you through the interactive elements on the page, such as buttons and links. However, I've just tested a course that uses custom blocks and tabbing goes to elements that are not interactive. This is incorrect behaviour. Is it a bug or is there a way to remove this in Rise?

    Hi NickiBerry-21e6,

    You are right, tabbing should only take you to interactive elements.

    I was wondering if the non-interactive element receiving keyboard focus is text on a fixed layout. If so, I suspect that the text may be scrollable. It could be very subtle. To verify, try editing the text and increase/expand the text container's height so the text fits comfortably and then try again.

    Let me know how it goes!

    Cheers!
