Issue Subcategory

No visible focus indicator

User Experience

Keyboard users cannot determine which element currently has focus. They are navigating blind, unable to know which control will receive their next action.

Repro Steps

Open VS code > Install the DocumentDB for VS Code Extension and open it > Add new Connections > Expand one of the databases > Expand a collection within that database > Double-click the Documents item > Add Document button > New Document tab > Observe the issue: Keyboard focus indicator is not visible when initial focus lands on "Save" button on New Document screen

Actual Result

When the New Document screen is opened for the first time, keyboard focus is automatically placed on the"Save" button. However, the keyboard focus indicator is not visible, making it difficult for keyboard users to determine the currently focused element. When the user navigates away and returns to the"Save" button using keyboard navigation, the focus indicator becomes visible as expected.

Expected Result

Whenever keyboard focus lands on the"Save" button, including when the screen initially opens, a visible focus indicator should be displayed consistently so that users can easily identify the currently focused element.

How to Fix

Ensure all focusable elements have a visible focus indicator. Do not suppress browser defaults without providing a custom alternative (e.g., outline: 2px solid #005fcc or box-shadow).

Reproduce the issue by opening the DocumentDB extension's New Document screen and observing the initial focus on the Save button. Locate the New Document screen and its Save button focus styling, then verify that the focus indicator is visible both on initial focus and after keyboard navigation.
