There was a problem hiding this comment.
Adding this :not selector disables the highlight animation when you create a panel and then immediately bring it into focus. Since the focusing border uses the same pseudo-element, and the highlight animation fades the opacity to 0, this created a jarring effect.

@Zacqary @ThomThomson I understand the problem you're trying to solve and it makes sense to solve to me. However, I think the gradient glow is visually too much to be visible for more than a fraction of a second (like when we insert a panel). Can we instead use the styling we use when dragging a panel?
