Moving focus to a component must not trigger an unexpected change of context.
How to meet it

How AccessScan checks this
This criterion needs a rendered page or human judgement (for example colour contrast, focus visibility, or media review), so it’s part of manual testing and our upcoming deep scan rather than the free static scan.
