Hello there!

I'm an fltk-rs user, but the problem I've encountered is appearing in other FLTK applications as well. Consider the following comparison of focus boxes on my machine (left) and on a virtual machine (right). Both are the same systems, Fedora 34.

There's a rendering bug in some X11 drivers that can look like that, so I'd guess that's what you are hitting.

    Yep, confirmed that a few times, it's a buggy default X11 driver.

    The proper fix is to install the right drivers for the graphics card
    so it doesn't use the default driver. I remember solving that one by
    installing the intel graphics drivers from the distro, as I think intel
    no longer supplies the drivers directly, you have to go through the
    distro packaging.

It's not really a fltk thing and I don't think we know how to work around it.

    The workaround is to set the line width to 1 instead of 0 for drawing the focus box.

    While 0 is the right thing, it has a buggy driver implementation.
    (This can be proven by running the X11 line drawing test code, which is pure X11,
    and seeing the same issue, i.e. ruling out FLTK)
