After one or either of a Jump to Unread or Jump to New keyboard shortcuts I use the Jump to Next topic shortcut. However there are occasions when the _g, j_ sequence does not take me to the next (unread/new) topic but leaves me looking at the list of the relevant topics. When this does not work I must click of the first or only topic listed to get started. For multiple topics _g, j_ then works as expected.

I cannot, as yet, identify a pattern to this buggy behaviour but it occurs on all the Discourse installations that I use including but not limited to here at Meta Discourse.If I can discern a pattern the details will be added.

One possible scenario, which happened here on Discourse Meta (and replicated elsewhere):

- Give Discoure focus  
(I run all my Discourses in a single browser window and switch between the respective tabs using Crtl-Down)

- New is highlighted with (in this case) 1 new topic.  
There’s the “See 1 new topic” message

- _g, j_  
No change

- _g,n_ then _g,j_  
No change!

- _g,u_ _g,n_

- _g,j_  
Correctly displays the new topic.

Looks like when the tab become current it does not always receive keyboard focus.

**Environment**

macOS 12.5.1 (Monterery with the recent security patch but the problem pre-dates that)  
Firefox 103.0.2 with bith uBlock Origin and Ghostery running (and will _not_ ever be turned off)

We need a consistent repro here.

- Go to “new”
- CTRL TAB
- CTRL SHIFT TAB
- gj

Is not reproducing this for me on latest firefox, linux.
