Picture frame cross lines are initially thicker

[MikeTO]

This isn't beta or even v2 specific but why does Publisher draw the X lines for a picture frame as thick lines and then after a half second beat change them to thin lines? Does it do this on Windows, too?

It happens when drawing, moving, scaling, and pasting. This feels like a cosmetic bug.

I think I have seen a probably similar draw problem. I get the X as being in the middle of the rectangle but not going all the way out to the corners. This is after drawing.

Because you have a retina display?
On my pre-retina MBP mid-2012, the lines remain thick.

Oh that's interesting.

I did more investigating just now and noticed that while it's less obvious, the stroke for all objects is also thickened momentarily when drawing, scaling, dragging, and rotating. 

I still don't know why it would do this because if you un-stroke the object then the stroke won't be thickened. I was thinking it might have been a deliberate design choice, to help you focus on what you're doing, but I'd have thought the bounding box for an un-stroked object would also thicken if it was deliberate. It just seems like an odd but very minor bug.

That's the Automatic Retina rendering(in Prefs > Performance) switching between fast(when you move stuff around) and slow(when you let it go). It's by design, and not a bug.
