I'm not a11y expert, but I think this is the "natural" behavior of websites. If you open a new page, the keyboard focus is automatically reset because you will probably have a different layout.

Hi @kemilbeltre, we have discussed with PO team and we got a reply that

We have agreed to the comment, but focus can only be reset when if the invoked element is opened new tab. But here it is opening in the same page not in new page (Tab). So, focus should not get reset if the invoked element is opened in the same page.

Can you please look into this comment and let us know if you need more information. Thanks.
