--- Comment #1 from m.eik michalke <m at reaktanz.de> ---
thanks for your report. i never thought i'd write that, but it's nut a bug,
it's a feature ;-)

knowing the current focus is crucial information (e.g., to know where typed in
commands will end up, or why the menu shows its particular entries). so just to
be clear on this, we'll not get rid of focus information per se.

RKWard has been indicating the currently focussed part of the interface by a
thin red border for 10+ years. that is not to say it can't (or shouldn't) be
changed, but to get this into perspective, it has never before been poited out
as being an issue or "ugly", and we take it it didn't confuse users in the
past.

so, in essence, this is about the border *color*. we'll look into it and see
what can be done to improve the general experience with this.
