I tried your code and it works for me, but you might want to change the order to put "focus" first.

If you're still having trouble. use the "snapshot" function of the workspace and post the link it gives you here. This will let us examine your complete environment.

If you're in incognito the visited links don't work. Try it in a regular browser and you'll be good. Hope that helps!
