As you can see, your internal border is two pixels wide.  And Alan just
noted in the thread of Bug#32882:

So please try that before making the new frame.  Unfortunately, in the
follow-up Aaron said it would not change anything and I suppose you
will see the same.  But yours and Aaron's experience could eventually
lead us to where those two pixels come from.

BTW the X-position 690 of your new frame is much larger than I would
expect from 0 + 675.  So this seems even more broken.
