I'm seeing some strange behavior in the side menu. When I navigate there with VoiceOver and press enter, the first time I navigated it worked smoothly. Then I pressed escape and it closed the side panel. That said, once I pressed escape, my focus went out of the web content area completely -- it went back to the change person menu in Chrome. 

However, when I went back to the side panel for the second and third time, I couldn't seem to get escape to work to get out of it, so I'm basically stuck there. 

It seems that when I click on the menu button with the mouse, I can press escape and it works to close it. But when I navigate with keyboard there, escape doesn't work. 


Noted by dbeam@: 
this behavior changed earlier this week and team is refining it further.

Right now: we're going to focus a wrapper around all the cards invisibly whenever the sidenav closes.

We're going to add a specific exception in the future: if you use keyboard to navigate to ≡ Settings menu and open the sidenav with Enter, we'll return focus to the ≡ when it closes.
