Hi Calum

Describe the Bug

After the first YakShave/recording, an empty “screen frame overlay” remains on-screen. The overlay appears to be left behind by the YakShaver Desktop app and is not cleaned up while the app stays open. Quitting YakShaver (Cmd/Ctrl+Q) removes it.

To Reproduce

Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. Open YakShaver Desktop.
2. Perform your first YakShave/recording.
3. Leave YakShaver Desktop running.
4. Observe an empty screen frame overlay remaining on the desktop.

Expected Behavior

The screen frame overlay should be removed/cleaned up automatically after recording completes (or when the related window closes), without requiring quitting the app.

this is MacOS only - the problem is the screen frame overlay is a new window (overlay) and it uses "fullscreen" which on MacOS moves it to this separate desktop. However, we did test it back in the days and it is working on MacOS connecting to multiple screens. It seems to be an issue using the hub.
@suiyangqiu steven will check with you as its working on his mac with multiple screens

This bug to retain the window might have been either always there or introduced with the race condition fix to avoid creating twice the main screen. when quitting the application it should terminate all windows.
