Summary
This PR updates the a11ycontroller.js to keep track of window focus so that it doesn't inadvertently make a11y visual updates when the windows comes back into focus again.
The problem was that once the window came back into focus, the element that last had focus received a focus event again and since that event wasn't triggered by a mouse click, the a11y_controller assumed it was a legit focus event and highlighted the element.
Test Steps:
Expected: There should be no visual updates to the post (i.e. the post should not receive an a11y focus outline.
