An existing feature does not function as intended
Tested on latest master 4.5.1. Windows 10, Internet Explorer 11.
It's a bit difficult to describe so I've made a GIF (700 KB, sorry). I'm using a testing tool to highlight with a red outline the elements that receive focus.
Basically, when tabbing through the Blocks UI, something wrong happens and users are forced to go through the whole UI twice. The latest data I can point to (October 2017) show that the majority of screen reader users (24.7%) still use JAWS with Internet Explorer (see https://webaim.org/projects/screenreadersurvey7/#browsercombos) so this problem is of great importance for accessibility. I'd say that having to tab twice through each block is less than ideal for all keyboard users.

At a first glance, the first time focus goes to the block content, the actual focused element is the content wrapper. The second time, it's the editable field.
