Current Behavior

After checking a particular node help on the node help tab, users may wish to check the help for other nodes. If they press the down key to move to the following help but the node help will not appear. Similarly, when they press the up key, the expected help for the node will not appear. I think that the focus would reset and is move to the top item in the node help.

Expected Behavior

Users can navigate the node help on the tab using the up and down arrow keys.
