Keyboard navigation: pressing TAB (Next focusable item) while GoogleMaps is focused skips the next focusable element #791

Description

Library Version: latest one
Android OS: Tried on API 36, 35, 34, 33 -> It's happening in all of them

Working on Acessibility for our project found the following:

BUG:
When in keyboard navigation, while a google maps item is focused, pressing the next focus item key (TAB) skips the next focusable item, giving focus to the next in line.

I can also reproduce it in the app from this Repo, in the MapsInLazyColumnActivity.

EDIT: Also while trying to debug I found out that even though the map is clickable, using keyboard input does not trigger the click. So instead I also tried to make it not focusable, without success too.

STEPS

  1. Run the project
  2. Go to UI Integration -> Maps in LazyColumn
  3. Using keyboard navigation, press TAB (next focusable item) until you get to the first map item
  4. Press TAB again

Result:
2nd item is skipped, focus goes directly to 3rd item

Expected:
No focusable item should be skipped

Other notes:
If pressing SHIFT+TAB (previous focusable item), the focus works as expected. I can also navigate with arrows correctly.
