Describe the problem

When using the "Select Other Board and Port" option in IDE 2.3.7 one can not access the Ports list using the <TAB> key.
Tab order is "Search board", "Show all ports", "CANCEL", "OK".

After selecting a port using the mouse \shift><TAB> takes one back to the "Search board" and <TAB> takes one to "Show all ports".

To reproduce

  1. Open a new sketch; cursor will be in "Search board".
  2. Press <TAB>; cursor moves to "Show all ports".
  3. Press <TAB> again; cursor moves to "Cancel".
  4. Press <TAB> again; cursor moves to "OK".
  5. Press <TAB> again; cursor leaves the dialog (see Preferences dialog box is not a modal dialog box #2364).

Expected behavior

User expects that the Ports "selector" is accessible using the keyboard.
