**Problem:** While using tabbing navigation functionality, the time frame filter lacks a highlight state which can cause accessibility users to miss that functionality of the forum.

**Repro Steps:**

1. Navigate to the forum home page
2. Select the Top sub-menu filter
3. Press tab until you reach the end of the sub-menu
4. Tab once more and observe that the highlight state disappears.

- Observe that the arrow keys will scroll up and down the page here

1. Tab again and observe the highlight state is still absent

- Observe that the arrow keys will open up the time frame filter, indicating that the focus, while invisible, is on the filter.

**Expected Results:**

- A highlight box should be present on selected UI elements so accessibility users can accurately navigate the forums.

The filter I’m referencing:

This should now be working on master:

This is on chrome, might not show on firefox, but this is another issue @awesomerobot will be looking at in the future.
