Weird frame

What the duck is this frame I see when I create a new document now?

I see it in all new documents whatever size.

That's the outline of the canvas. In this case your canvas is smaller than the artboard. (Or you set your artboard size to be bigger than the canvase - whichever you prefer). I can repro this, too.

@Ingolf If you modified the color of the canvas to white, the color of the
artboard to light grey (like in the screenshot) then you saved a document
template in Preferences/Settings > Document Files > New Template,
every new document will look like that template.

The question is, where do you modify the color of the canvas?

Here, I changed the canvas color in Document Setup > Guides tab (the Document Setup is in the Context Toolbar at the top). Not sure why the canvas color is under "Guides" but whatever.

However, that color is not the canvas color! I have changed my canvas to be 100x100 and placed a rectangle (gray) on the artboard that covers the canvas. You see the artboard is much bigger than the canvas so only the 100x100 portion of the rectangle is visible.

And when you move the rectangle out of the canvas area, you can see the canvas is white. And you can see its faint outline in the bottom left corner, just like in the case of @Ingolf .So why is the document background pink when I set that for the canvas?

@pentool Thx again!

Automatic canvas size solved the issue for me.

@Ingolf I will try to replicate this.
