Research direction

Start by reproducing the issue with the provided Slider example, then trace the keyboard arrow-key handling for range handles and the existing allowCross constraint. Confirm the fix by checking that moving either handle with arrow keys cannot cross the other handle when allowCross is false, including the vertical and reverse configuration.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

Example:

<Slider
  allowCross={false}
  range
  vertical
  reverse
  value={...}
  min={1}
  max={10}
  dots
  handleRender={...}
  onChange={...}
/>

If you click on a slider handle and use the arrow keys to go up and down, you can cross the other slider even though allowCross is set to false.
