It looks compositing is disabled on your computer. Go to system settings, and make sure that "Enable compositor on startup" is checked in Compositor settings.
If this is indeed a Wayland screenshot, then compositor settings cannot affect the result. Can you confirm that on both systems the kwin process is actually kwin_wayland instead of kwin_x11? You can use Ctrl+Esc to check the process list.
Oh, right! @techxgames, could you please provide the output of `qdbus org.kde.KWin /KWin supportInformation`?

Hmm, borders are okay on my machine. Can you reproduce this bug with other aurorae decorations?
(In reply to Vlad Zahorodnii from comment #6) > Hmm, borders are okay on my machine. Can you reproduce this bug with other > aurorae decorations? OH! That's why it was having issues.
So, was it a bug in the decoration theme (Sweet-Mars) that you were using?
This bug was reported against an outdated version of KWin. We have made many changes since the. If the issue persists in newer versions can you reopen the bug report updating the version number.
