Body
When you trigger the branch/tag selector on github (virtually from anywwhere), the branch filter input is immediately focused so you can start typing immediately. This is great.
But when you click on Tags, focus is not returned to the input box. So if you start typing right away, that text doesn't go to the input.
The worst part of it? When filtering for tags, it's EXTREMELY common to be searching for a version tag. Which means typing a version number like
1.2. While the text input isn't selected, the "number" portion doesn't do anything. But the.is received as a global shortcut and flips you into CODESPACE mode!!!So not only does the tag selector not do what you want, you get bounced completely out of whatever page your were on, and into a codespace!!!
And to top it all off, the markup for this selector is some abomination of nested
lielements. Which places a non-clickable nestedlielement over top the branch/tag link. So the clickable region is almost entirely obscured by a broken element.(the gray highlight is what's supposed to be clickable. But the element outlined in red is not clickable. So the only clickable region is the gray that is above the red outlined

li)Complete mess
