Often get two or more windows shown as active

Often two, and I think sometimes more, windows are shown with active-window highlighting (borders and caption font) when WindowBlinds is active.  It is hard to know which window is active, and so I have to click around on the windows.  When I do this, the window I click will become active and the others will then show inactive-window highlighting.  The multiple-active-window marking occurs sometimes when new windows are created and sometimes when alt-tabbing between existing windows.  Sometimes when alt-tabbing, even worse, the window which actually is active is shown with inactive-window marking.  Have no definite way to reproduce this reliably. 

Don't really need a solution -- it is just an annoyance -- but possibly the developer(s) might be sensitized to this problem.

Windows 10 with current WindowBlinds (Windows 10 Pro 20H2 (19041.vb_release.191206-1406) WindowBlinds 10.89 (064 - Windows 10 Edition) - 64 bit OS)

Hello,
Sorry to hear you are having issues. Not really sure on your issue. Could you post a video on your issue so we can understand it better.

Thanks

Video is not possible, as the issue is not reproducible on demand.  Here is an image showing three open file explorer windows (I use Xplorer2 as the file explorer).  Two (G:\ and D:\) have red borders indicating the active window; the other (H:\) has a grey border indicating an inactive border.  (The two other windows, in the bottom corners, have no window-drawn border but are showing bitmaps which contain internally the border painting.)  Forgive the wallpaper: it is provided randomly and this one is not a keeper.

I would expect there to be only one active window.

Is this issue appear on any Windowblinds theme? and does the issue appear on Windows Explorer?

Thank you,
