In a TabView with the .sidebarAdaptable style, including TabSection elements prevents the default back swipe on the remote from revealing the sidebar. Removing all TabSection elements and using only Tab elements makes it work as expected:

import SwiftUI

struct ContentView: View {

    var body: some View {
        TabView {
            Tab("Tab", systemImage: "square.fill") { Button(action: {}) { Text("Button") } }
            Tab("Tab", systemImage: "square.fill") { Button(action: {}) { Text("Button") } }
            Tab("Tab", systemImage: "square.fill") { Button(action: {}) { Text("Button") } }
            Tab("Tab", systemImage: "square.fill") { Button(action: {}) { Text("Button") } }
            Tab("Tab", systemImage: "square.fill") { Button(action: {}) { Text("Button") } }
            Tab("Tab", systemImage: "square.fill") { Button(action: {}) { Text("Button") } }
            Tab("Tab", systemImage: "square.fill") { Button(action: {}) { Text("Button") } }
            Tab("Tab", systemImage: "square.fill") { Button(action: {}) { Text("Button") } }
            Tab("Tab", systemImage: "square.fill") { Button(action: {}) { Text("Button") } }

            TabSection("Section") {
                Tab("Tab", systemImage: "square.fill") { Button(action: {}) { Text("Button") } }
                Tab("Tab", systemImage: "square.fill") { Button(action: {}) { Text("Button") } }
            }
        }.tabViewStyle(.sidebarAdaptable)
    }

}

Am I using it wrong, or is this a bug?

I got a problem on contrary to this. Same sidebar adaptable style tab view... lets say selecting first Tab displays View A and from there i navigate to ViewA2 , now when i go back, the focus automayically goes to the tab option and not on the elements in View A... Any idea like how do i make the focus stay inside the views during this?
