The tab key will not move away from the log

Description
When navigating the main window of the client with tab and shift+tab, navigation seems to get stuck in the log. In other words, when keyboard focus is on the log, nothing happens when I press tab or shift+tab.
I review the log often and I use a screen reader, so being able to use this kind of navigation is critical, and many screen reader users don't use a mouse at all.
I discovered it is still possible to use the F6 key to move away from the log, which is a good workaround but not one that will be obvious to many.
I do not know if this occurs on non-Windows operating systems but I did verify it on two Windows 10 machines.
Marking high priority because even if it affects a small number of people, not being able to exit the log is arguably a blocker to being able to successfully use the client, and on the development side it seems like a small regression.
This issue has been fixed in 3.66.5
