Comment (by wildworks):

 @yagniksangani Thank you for the detailed exploration! I realized the
 underlying problem.

 === Steps to reproduce

 - Install and activate [https://wordpress.org/plugins/envira-gallery-lite/
 Envira Photo Gallery] plugin
 - Access Envira Gallery > Add New Gallery
 - Just click the Puglish button
 - Nothing happens and your browser console logs the message `An invalid
 form control with name='async-upload' is not focusable. `

 I think this problem occurs when the `media_upload_form()` function is
 executed within a form element.

 In fact, Envira Photo Gallery plugin executes such code:
 https://github.com/gnanet/envira-gallery-
 lite/blob/c41a5348511c0b39f57719d2e62ac69beb9a5007/includes/admin/partials
 /metabox-gallery-type.php#L32

 This issue can affect many consumers, so I think it should be fixed in 6.9
 if possible, or at least 6.9.1.
