Context
when the file tree browser panel is open, and users click into the page area outside the file tree browser, the panel should automatically close. This is a general web pattern that gives users faster access to the element they are trying to focus/click on (if they're trying to focus outside of the file tree browser panel). See #569507 (comment 2851694452)
Design proposal
See #581018 (comment 2958387035).
- In moible viewport sizes where the file tree browser panel appears, add a behavior that allows users to click outside the component to close the file tree browser.
