 The dashboard metaboxes have arrow buttons that allow them to be moved up
 and down with a keyboard. The top-most metabox has a disabled move up
 button that is not probramatically disabled so it still receives keyboard
 focus though it is not functional.

 Example:

 {{{
 <button type="button" class="handle-order-higher" aria-disabled="true"
 aria-describedby="dashboard_site_health-handle-order-higher-
 description"><span class="screen-reader-text">Move up</span><span class
 ="order-higher-indicator" aria-hidden="true"></span></button>
 }}}

 It would be better if the disabled attribute were added to this button or
 if it had a negative tab index so that it doesn't receive keyboard focus
 outside of when the focus is already on it (because it was used to move a
 meta box into the top-most position).
