TableView keyboard navigation causes focus leak with non-input interactive components

[Sourour18]

Provide a general summary of the issue here

Hi,

First, thank you for the great work on React Spectrum and React Aria.

I found an issue with keyboard navigation in TableView.
When navigating cells using the Tab key:

• If the cell contains a standard input component (e.g. NumberField without stepper, TextField), focus navigation works correctly.
• However, if the next interactive element is a Picker, Switch, Radio, Checkbox, NumberField with stepper or similar component, focus escapes the TableView instead of moving correctly to the next focusable element inside the table.

This creates a focus leak and breaks keyboard accessibility/navigation consistency inside the table.
I attached a video demonstrating the issue.
Thank you for taking a look into this issue.

🤔 Expected Behavior?

• Tabbing should continue correctly between interactive elements within the TableView row/cells.
• Focus should remain trapped within the expected table navigation flow until the user exits intentionally.

😯 Current Behavior

Focus jumps outside the table unexpectedly when reaching certain interactive Spectrum components.

🖥️ Steps to Reproduce

1. Create a TableView with multiple editable/interactable cells.
2. Add different interactive components inside cells:

• TextField
• Picker
• Switch
• RadioGroup / Radio
• Checkbox

3. Focus the first interactive element inside the table.
4. Use the Tab key to navigate through the cells/components.

Result:

• Navigation works correctly between text inputs.
• When focus reaches components like Picker, Switch, Radio, or Checkbox, focus unexpectedly escapes the TableView.

Expected:

• Focus should continue to the next interactive element within the TableView without leaving the table unexpectedly.
