I think the dashed outlines came in with work by Miklos on bug 127211

Just manifests with the work on Skia (slight difference between the Vulkan, and the raster rendering).

To me NAB.

It doesn't really matter to me, but it's rather uncommon on Windows and also quite inconsistent. Some dialogs have it, some don't. Only Warning & info dialogs buttons seem come with dashes.

Look at File -> Properties;  Insert -> Envelop or Insert -> Fontwork for example. The look 'normal'.

So aesthetically not quite right IMHO.

IIUC the rectangles are necessary 'focus' indicators for UI navigation, they are solid lines with some render engines but have been dashed with Skia rendering.

If they appear or not depends on button's ability to take focus with keyboard or mouseover action.

That they are dashed is visual noise with Skia--not clear it needs to (or can be) changed.
