Bug Description
After scrolling to the bottom of the Dash using the cursor keys, navigating back upwards using the cursor keys is broken.
To Reproduce:
1. Open the Dash and go to the App lens
2. Expand the "Installed" category header
3. using the 'down arrow' cursor key, scroll to the bottom of the results
4. when at the bottom of the results, press the 'up arrow' cursor key a few times
What currently incorrectly happens:
- after pressing up a couple of time, the focus magically jumps back to the top of the dash
Desired correct behaviour:
- pressing the 'up arrow' cursor key should be the exact opposite of pressing the 'down arrow' cursor key. The focus should move one step at a time and should not magically jump.

Assigned nux + jay because it seems like fixing this is not possible with the current focus API we have in nux, when the focus is changed we have no idea which direction we were focused from, so we can't make sure that the correct item is focused if you navigate up say from one result view to a result view above it
