Windows11: outline auto rendering ?

How does a Chromium based browser (and Firefox) render outline: auto on Windows 11?

In the following test file, you should see a rectangle with a red border and a ~2px thick solid outline, hopefully in a color that matches what the OS uses. If everything goes well the outline is offset from the border by 2px (but Chromium apparently ignores that for the auto value).

dev.l-c-n.com/_temp/outline-auto.html

On my Mac, various recent OS, Safari renders the standard focus-ring (5px blueish with blur , as expected) Firefox renders as described (blueish OS colour) and Chromium renders a 2px solid black outline.

TIA.

They definitely rendered differently.

Re: Windows11: outline auto rendering ?

Thank you Michael. That matches quite closely the rendering on macOS. And yeah, Chromium browsers do not apply the outline-offset when the auto value for outline is used. There is a tad of ambiguity in the spec…

For my you case anyway that rendering is OK. I would use it mostly inside a forced-colors:active media query—for those users who set their OS theme to some ‘forced colour’ theme (formerly known a Windows High Contrast). The auto value will make sure to show a focussing ring that matches what the OS-theme expects.
