Comment (by joedolson):
This sounds like an upstream issue in Gutenberg.
It's not a keyboard trap, strictly speaking, as it is possible to move
focus away from it using only the keyboard and the use of the Esc key is a
standard exit method. However, it's definitely a crappy user experience.
However, I haven't been able to reproduce this issue in a plain
installation of Twenty Twenty Five following the settings you've
described; there's no cycling through the submenu.
It's possible that it's something specific to a particular browser; what
are you testing on?
Are you able to provide a link to a test page where you are having this
experience?
