--- Comment #17 from Klaus <klh at threads.dk> ---
I can confirm that this is broken across osx and iOS,
reduced testcase here:
https://codepen.io/pen?&editors=100&prefill_data_id=ed12545a-9bee-4190-87c2-1ce003ae34e8

virtual cursor cannot move past the headline (you can kinda get there by trying to move up and outside, with single words and the arrow key navigate upwards however this wasn't the intention) - you should disable this implementation in future releases until the behaviour is fixed,

Current best practice is to add both aria-modal="true" and aria-role="dialog" (for future compatibility) however the buggy implementation actually renders the modal unreadable by screenreader...
I'd consider this a high priority for a11y
