Comment (by wildworks):
Thanks for working on this.
> After applying the patch, the active tab is clearly visible and
distinguishable from inactive tabs in High Contrast Mode.
In Windows High Contrast Mode, a border is visually rendered even when
`transparent` is specified for the border color. While
[https://github.com/WordPress/wordpress-develop/pull/12107/ PR 12107] does
indeed differentiate border colors between active and inactive tabs,
Windows High Contrast Mode is fundamentally used by users with low vision,
color vision deficiencies, or light sensitivity to improve readability by
increasing the contrast between text and background. Users relying on
Windows High Contrast Mode may not necessarily be able to distinguish
between active and inactive border colors. Therefore, I believe borders
should not be rendered at all for inactive tabs.
