Defect with Firefox

By system design, this scroll div does not have any events bound to it and does not have a tabindex. This configuration means this box/container should not be focused. A picture showing the configuration using Web Developer Tools is below:

Workaround

Use a different browser like Google Chrome which correctly considers this scroll div as a non-interactive element and cannot be focused.
