Steps to reproduce weird border (see screenshot below):

OS version: Windows 7 Ultimate 32-bit.
Screenshot Captor version: 2.78.01

1. Select multiple regions, using SHIFT key.
2. Apply SpecialFX such as Add Glow and Pop Out in this example.
3. Click off of the currently selected regions.

Is this a bug that could be fixable or is there a setting to prevent this happening?

That's an interesting observation..
There is no easy perfect fix.. the best i could do is maybe detect when there is a multiple selection and simply NOT draw the black border in this case.
Would that be an acceptable solution or would that simply mean that using multiple selections is not going to work for you?

No black box would be perfect for me.  :)
