Research direction

Run the local app with `yarn start`, open the spotlight dialog, and reproduce the missing selection background with the up/down keys in Firefox. Trace the spotlight dialog's keyboard-selection rendering and verify that the selected item shows a grey background while pressing Enter still launches the room.
