This might be a bit lazy of me, but Shane, do you know off-hand what the issue might be here? Would it make sense to call focus() on the share panel once opened?

I'd be worried that a provider may set focus to a specific element, and our setting focus somewhere would change that.  We should dig up someone who understands the whole window focus ring stuff.

Secondary note on that gif.  The whole UX around sharing a link is a bit weird when hello is in a detached window.

changing from shareplane - so won't fix - implementing new mechanism in release or so
