When a slide-in panel opens, keyboard scroll keys (Home, End, PageUp, PageDown) now work immediately without having to click inside the panel first. Focus is placed on the scrollable content area on open, so you can start scrolling straight away.

Note that this changes the Tab order inside the panel: previously the first Tab stop after opening was the close button; now it's the first focusable element in the content area. The close button is still reachable via Shift+Tab or by tabbing through the content.
