Eli, does the identity team own this piece of UI?

Generally, yes, sort of. But this bug was introduced as the result of the changes that were made by the desktop team when moving the user menu from the top Chrome to the toolbar. At least, when I disabled #views-browser-window, I'm not able to repro it. So I think it should probably be looked at by whoever made that change.

Friendly ping. Can you loop in the right desktop engineer, Mark? Want to make sure this doesn't get lost.

Rob, can you ptal and make sure we own this codepath? Estimation if you could, kindly.

bettes: What is the appropriate interaction here?

 Issue 856657  has been merged into this issue.

I believe the appropriate interaction is that we shouldn't highlight anything by default when the menu is opened (see Max's comments in the bug I just merged into this one).

Just chatted with ainslie offline. He confirmed that nothing should be highlighted by default (he was the one who noticed this and asked Max to file the bug I merged into this one).

Let's make sure this gets fixed before birthday :)

 Issue 857014  has been merged into this issue.

I have context for this so I'll fix it quickly.

Fix first profile being highlighted when the avatar button is clicked.

When the avatar button is activated using the keyboard the first profile
should be highlighted. But the new Refresh avatar button was using a
code path that always indicated the keyboard was used.

As a short-term fix, this patch avoids that code path entirely.
