This outline was removed in 4.6.dev for mouse and touch input thanks to this PR:

Closes https://github.com/godotengine/godot-proposals/issues/6577 (by covering h…ttps://github.com/godotengine/godot-proposals/issues/2011). This PR makes so that `Control`s will not show their focus state when activated via a mouse click. It also modifies two functions in order to make this work: - `Control.grab_focus()` has the new optional argument `hide_focus`. - `Control.has_focus()` has the new optional argument `ignored_hidden_focus`. Here's the full ruleset for when focus is shown or not: |Situation|| |-|-| |Clicking a `Control` with the mouse, giving it focus.|| |Successfully switching focus via keyboard/joypad actions.|✅| |Attempting to switching focus via keyboard/joypad actions but still remaining on the same `Control`.|✅| |Clicking somewhere with the mouse while having a `Control` with visible focus.|| |Clicking with the mouse a visibly focused `Control` (deviates from how it works in browsers, feedback welcome).|| |Using `Control.grab_focus(true)`.||

In prior versions, you could create a custom editor theme to remove it.
