Created attachment 170318 [details] Screenshot SUMMARY Please see the attached screenshot first. Ignore the dark icons: they are incorrectly used icons and unrelated to this issue. Notice the icon/button Display Configuration is highlighted, but my cursor isn't hovering over it. STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. Open Status and Notification 2. Move your cursor over an icon/button 3. Then move your cursor out of it OBSERVED RESULT The icon/button is highlighted EXPECTED RESULT It shouldn't be highlighted after the cursor moves away from it ADDITIONAL INFORMATION Using Xorg
Can reproduce on Wayland too. The highlight effect disappears when the cursor moves out of the popup, but not when it moves off of the specific item.
Took a look into the code, and this is intentional. The highlight effect isn't just for hover; it also communicate which item has keyboard focus. If we hide it or removed it while you're not hovering over any items, then keyboard navigability would be impaired. The fact that it disappears when moving out of the popup is non-standard though. I'll remove that.
