The floating border widget paints a frame around the first item. That's wrong because this frame indicates a selection, which means when a grid border has been selected, for instance, this option needs to be focused. But the widget rather contains commands that needs no frame around the button. So please remove the focus.

So this seems to be broken in 5.2 and master.
note: unable to bibisect with win-5.2, dozens of skipped commits.
Note that the focus should not be removed completely - as then it will be impossible to use that widget with the keyboard. We only want to not show the focus initially - like it was before 5.2, esp. if the dropdown opened with the mouse. bisect range is 00cf864e5d317016d7224c199aa982d07bd70113...c1b90fa342e09ab30068f6294fc866c63d7ae4c4 This one looks related: commit dd46727b99d4bb5135451aa7e5e1bdb197373843 Author: Caolán McNamara <caolanm@redhat.com> Date: Tue Apr 5 15:27:38 2016 +0100 Resolves; tdf#87120 no keyboard navigation inside floating windows lets try and treat these the same as we do normal toplevels like dialogs if they popup with GrabFocus. This way focus can be set on widgets inside the floating windows, and so keyboard traversal of widgets etc all works.
