Comment (by juanfra):
Thanks Aki, you captured it perfectly.
The problem is not the focus, but the focus styles. They make it look
selected, which feels wrong after you just closed the palette. Maybe we
can update the title and description of the ticket to bring more clarity.
Usually focus states use outlines instead of a background + color combo.
It wasn't super obvious before command palette existed, but now that focus
returns after closing, I believe it's more evident that the styling is
misleading.
