I see what is happening here. When trapFocus is enabled on the Popover.Content, it will focus the first focusable element on open. Perhaps to alleviate this, we can prioritize items with tabindex={0} over tabindex={-1}.

I'll look into this.

This is actually an issue outside the popover, it's just more pronounced in the popover since it focuses automatically. The active tab should have tabindex={0} and all inactive ones should have tabindex={-1}; in your reproduction, the first tab always has tabindex={0}, which is incorrect.

I'll get this one fixed asap!
