Description
Can't set focus on any item of the "Java Setup - Uninstall out-of-date versions" dialogs using keyboard only.
Nothing is focused by default. I can navigate through the dialog using keyboard only after setting the focus by mouse.
Seems like all new dialogs are affected, "Java Setup - Progress" with "Status: Uninstallation Complete" message is also affected.

These issues makes JRE installation via keyboard impossible.

Comments
Html UI should detect the last button added to the dialog and automatically set focus to it. Assigning to Alex.

Does the new UE implementation allow for setting Z order for the controls? Looks like we need to set it, and set the default.
