I don't see any changes to the About dialog and it works just fine on 0.11.1072.0. The only thing I can think of is that we're getting the URI from the resources file. So if we're in a "locale" that isn't supported yet, I guess the link wouldn't launch?

Wait, but I guess then all the text would be missing too. So I guess not?

@SpandanaPaladi At 0:14 in your attached PowerPoint, the "Getting Started" link is already in focus. These links are expected to open a website on your web browser. Could you try reinstalling Windows Terminal and see if that helps?

I do not understand. The video shows that "Getting Started" does indeed have keyboard focus, and then later that "Documentation" receives keyboard focus. Is this not intended?
