Accessibility Issue: Keyboard Tab is Skipping Footer in Dawn Theme

Accessibility Issue: Keyboard Tab is Skipping Footer in Dawn Theme

I'm testing for WCAG 2.1 accessibility requirements, and when I navigate the website using keyboard-only, everything works until I reach the end of the Main Content ---> Instead of jumping (or tabbing) to the Footer, it starts back at the top of the Main Content. Only after I have tabbed through the entire Main Content a second time will it then jump to the Footer content.

 

Is there a reason why it doesn't jump to the Footer the first go-round? And, more importantly, is there something I can do so that it goes straight into the Footer rather than starting over at the Main Content? 

 

This is not something specific to my website, it does this on the Dawn Demo as well.

Hmm. I do not see it, both on my test store and dawn demo I am able to tab from template sections to the footer and back every time.
