Menu should focus during opening animation

[austinw-fineart]

What is affected?

Accessibility, Component

Description

Currently when opening a menu, the entire opening animation has to finish before the default focus is applied, which is rather annoying as a keyboard user.

Reproduction

Workaround

The only workaround is setting quick open on all your menus to skip the animation.

Is this a regression?

No or unsure. This never worked, or I haven't tried before.
