This white frame has always existed... at least since I've been using LO.

I guess it's just a matter of design, to make the button more noticeable. This is in contrast with current flat design, which is common in many modern apps.

IMO, I would replace this button for a flat ellipsis or down arrow.

But again, this is not an actual bug... it's simply a design enhancement.

No success finding the reason for the issue in sw/source/uibase/docvw/AnnotationWin2.cxx and co. But actually there is no white frame with gtk3 (neither any hover feedback), so I suspect something like bug 159358.
