Description

Describe the bug
When navigating via keyboard, the focus indicator is not visible when focus moves to the "Update project thumbnail" link button in the Share Project dialog.

Steps to reproduce the behavior:

  1. Navigate to https://makecode.microbit.org/beta.
  2. Open an existing project or create a new one.
  3. Use Tab to move focus to the Share Project button.
  4. Press Enter to open the Share Project dialog.
  5. Continue pressing Tab until focus reaches the "Update project thumbnail" link button.
  6. Observe the focus state.

Actual behavior
No visible focus indicator (focus border) is displayed when the "Update project thumbnail" link button receives focus.

Expected behavior
A clearly visible focus indicator should be displayed when the "Update project thumbnail" link button is focused, providing proper keyboard navigation feedback and ensuring accessibility compliance (e.g., WCAG 2.1).
