Since 1.6.6 if focused windows decoration is enabled (in our case with specified color outside the window frame) and exposing the desktop (with CMD-F3 for example) the outline of the focused window is drawn on the desktop. The content of the window is moved to the screen edge as exspected.

Ghost active window outline on Desktop

Could you shared a screenshot? I wasn’t able to reproduce the issue.
I think I found the issue. Clicking to hide the window on the desktop triggers it.
Should be fixed in v1.6.9. If you still have issues, let me know in this thread.
Still not fixed: Just some more information: Strangely this persistyent yellow frame only happens when You expose the desktop via trackpad gesture. Using the right command key for example is fine.
Sharing a screenshot would be better.

I just realized when I try to generate a video from the screen (too big for discord) that the active window mark is ONLY shown in the transition period when the windows are moving to the outer edge synchronious to the finger piching. If the final stage is reached no window mark is shown. Thats why its not visible when using the command key...
Time to record with a camera lol
