The focus was set in https://cgit.freedesktop.org/libreoffice/core/commit/?id=a8605dc1619a2275b52e22a60c4ca0715e7ab07d, before it, the enter key didn't work with the sidebar...
Here is a patch that makes the Space key behavior the same as a mouse click. Focus remains on the tab button. This avoids focus from being hidden when the deck collapses. The patch also makes the Enter key never collapse the deck but to open it if collapsed and always place focus on the first panel title. https://gerrit.libreoffice.org/#/c/59616/ Comments and testing always appreciated.
