Just updated to 26. still there.

Tried to reproduce this on 26.9.9 with no successful. May I ask how you produced the "expected result" image? what do you do to "fix" the issue? And is there a way to "show/hide" the strange rectangular? I can see that in the problematic photo you have the Hide button focused too. Does losing the focus hides the strange highlight square?

I just started it. yes Actually I deactivated the app to let the focus disappear, which is expected behavior. I just used it to take a screenie.

Thanks for the explanation. I'm able to reproduce and will work on it today.
