{{{
#!CommitTicketReference repository="" revision="61104"
Widgets: A11y: Prevent dropdowns from submitting on `esc` in Windows.
On Chrome and Firefox for Windows, the dropdown format for Category and
Archives widgets will submit if the user closes the `select` element
using Escape. Escape should instead cancel the action.
Fix the classic Category and Archives widgets to prevent submission on
`esc` keypresses.

Fixes #63531.
