When running the following program the black frame is not completely
overwritten by the red rectangle. Why is this? Is this an error? Or should
I draw the rectangle frame differently (e.g. in a different order). 
(I need this because sometimes I want to draw a frame around a rectangle and
sometimes not. When drawing the rectangle without the fram it should of course
erase the previous rectangle and the frame.)
