What happened?
I have an Oled so its very bright, but when you are playing a video as use the arrow keys on your keyboard to skip the video being watched (in my case a TV series in VOD), a bright box appears around the main media pane that surrounds the video player, header and series list. It is very distracting and bright.
Can this be disabled please? I can imagine if one were using a keyboard on an htpc this would be super distracting from the content your are watching.
Also I must add this is not in full screen movde but in windowed mode.

I reproduced this and opened a fix in #2189.
Cause: clicking anywhere inside a movie or series page that isn't a button (the video, the header, the episode list) gives keyboard focus to the page's scroll area without showing a ring. Chromium then switches that focus to "keyboard focus" on the next keypress, so seeking with the arrow keys drew the focus ring around the whole page. It only shows in windowed mode, because fullscreen hides the page around the player. The same page layout is used for Xtream, M3U, downloads and recordings, so they were affected too.
With the fix, a page you clicked into stays without a ring when you seek, including after switching windows and coming back. Tabbing to the page with the keyboard still shows the ring.
@rsparhar, once it's in a nightly, could you confirm it's gone on your OLED?
