This a special component the user cannot see or interact with.

These are the form toolbar buttons. Toolbar buttons don't have
mnemonics, nor they are traversable. They should have a shortcut
associated, or the corresponding action should be available e.g. from
a menu by keyboard. This concrete case is already tracked by issue 38743.

HandleLayer is the transparent layer where component selections are
painted. It *is* accessible by keyboard. After opening the form just
press TAB and you are there.
