Problem/Motivation

When a link is used to open an ajax dialog when the dialog is closed the jQuery dialog that core uses will return the focus to the item that had focus before the dialog was opened.

This does not work for contextual links. When a contextual link is used to open an ajax dialog when the dialog is closed(not a form save & page reload) the contextual link will not be visible and focus will not be returned.

This was discovered in #2784569: Settings Tray Accessibility: Improve tabbing β†’ for the off-canvas dialog but it affects all core dialogs.

Proposed resolution

When a dialog is closed that was opened from a contextual link the contextual lin button for the context

Remaining tasks

  1. Implement fix

API changes

None

Data model changes

Original Summary

from #2784569: Settings Tray Accessibility: Improve tabbing β†’ comment 9 point 7 of @Wim Leers review

However, when I close the Settings Tray dialog, my previous location is lost/forgotten β€” I'm back at the root of the page, and have to tab back all the way to where I was before I triggered the "Quick Edit" contextual link.
