I personally make this error multiple times per session. I want to click and drag to select multiple objects, but I end up moving the entire frame, because I am zoomed in and cannot see that it’s selected. I have also renamed frames “t” or “v” or “n” trying to select a different tool and not realizing the board is selected.
I don’t think I would want a more obvious visual indicator that a board is selected. I think a better solution is adding friction to cut down on accidental errors. If you made board selection a triple click (or 4?) for power users, and have a redundancy built int to the context menu, in addition to the current behavior of selecting the name of the frame, it could be a relatively inexpensive quality of life improvement for many users.
