Research direction
Investigate the order of focusable elements in the Temperature calculator mode, specifically the 'Not busy...' progress bar. Check if it has IsTabStop or similar properties. Look at the XAML or C++ code that controls focus navigation to ensure hidden elements are skipped in Scan mode.
