 In [changeset:"61104" 61104]:
 {{{
 #!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.

 Props adrock42, sabernhardt, whyisjake, westonruter, joedolson,

 Fixes #63531.
