That's called the focus ring, and it's to visually indicate which view is the first responder for key events.

If you don't want it to show up, you can use the -[NSView setFocusRingType:] method with the NSFocusRingTypeNone constant. This is also settable in Interface Builder.

This is to-do with the how the computer accesses windows via the keyboard. The highlight is notifying the user that this is the currently focused control.

To remove it from that control simply

[someOtherControl becomeFirstResponder];
