Dear members,

I kindly request for your inputs for the below mentioned issue:

When we navigate using tab key
From outside of the frame, when we tab into the frame, first the focus
is going to the beginning boundary of the Iframe which is not an
interactive element.
Then when we do tab, the focus is going to the link which is the first
interactive element inside the frame.

FYI:
This happens both in IE 11 as well as in FF 45
Inside the iframe we have only some links and texts. No form fields.

Is this an expected behavior?
Or, should we flag this as an accessibility issue since the focus is
going to the non-interactive element?

If you consider this as an issue, could you please suggest a best
possible solution for this issue?

Thanks for your inputs.
Ram
