'VbaCodeCleaner appears as though Focus Rectangle Thicker is checked when it is unchecked
I’m running Excel 2010 & Excel 2003 on a Windows 10 version 21H2 machine.
I noticed a change in the appearance of Rob Bovey’s VbaCodeCleaner. A thick border appears around whatever has the focus (buttons, tabs, file selection), which makes reading the corresponding text difficult.
On a different machine running same OS and MS Office versions, everything appears normal.
What I’ve tried:
- Run a repair on MS Office
- Downloaded and installed the latest VbaCodeCleaner
- Searched the internet for a possible Windows setting causing this.
As this is happening on both versions of Excel I suspect this might end up being a Win 10 setting.
UPDATE: I just noticed that this is also happening with the Tools>References dialog.

Well, I think I may have resolved the problem. The Focus Rectangle Thicker was already unchecked, so I checked it, Apply, unchecked it and Apply again and voila! So I have no idea what really happened, but toggling that setting seems to have fixed it.
