Issue
The scrollable content area in the "About" tab was not accessible via keyboard navigation, as outlined in issue #7280. This prevented keyboard users from accessing important information displayed in the scrollable region.
Changes
This PR adds proper keyboard accessibility to the scrollable content in the About tab panel by:
tabIndex={0}to the scrollable container to make it keyboard focusablearia-labelto describe the content area for screen readersThese changes ensure that users relying on keyboard navigation can now access all information within the About tab panel, following WCAG 2.1.1 success criteria (Keyboard) and in alignment with the best practices outlined in our accessibility documentation.
Fixes #7280.
