Hi @moucho

This was done in order to improve accessibility by default. If, for some reason, your users won’t require the additional level of accessibility consideration, the commit outlining what was changed is b27a5c7fb8

You can override this by adding

*:focus {
    outline-style: none;
}

in a style tag in the Custom HTML Head Content in BookStack settings.

@james-geiger thanks for your suggestion, I thought it was a change in the new layout, not something related to accessibility.
