Hey lpalmaro@,

If you're talking solely about dialogs, the focus is on the title in most cases.

this was requested by chaok@ here:
https://bugs.chromium.org/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=686313

this results in the title of the dialog being focused and read by screenreaders.  it PREVENTS focus from starting half-way down the <dialog> at the first randomly focusable control (which could even scroll the dialog if it's really long and the focusable thing is at the bottom).

if there's something more useful in the dialog to focus than the title, we use the autofocus attribute to move focus there initially.  for example: a dialog that lets you edit 1 thing.  if you selected a menu item that said "edit thing", it makes more sense (to us) to simply autofocus the edittext you want to change rather than utter "Edit thing dialog" and make users navigate to the edittext.

lpalmaro@: was there anything else?

we've fixed most focus issues related to dialogs closing lately ( issue 668313 ), and are actively working on going back from subpages ( issue 709586 ).

Nektarios, this was a bug that you had reported. Please provide any further context. I think it's the right thing to  focus the title. 

ui>settings, please triage. if you need help from UI>Accessibility, please reassign!

I am closing this bug due to inactivity. Moreover Settings UI recently passed A11y review as part of the MD refresh. Please re-open if you think this is still relevant.
