Stride: persistant DOF glow

hi all,

Stride documentation: DOF Areas Areas of the depth of field. There are three main zones defined by their distance from the camera: near out-of-focus area (from X to Y), in-focus area (from Y to Z), and far out-of-focus area (from Z to W)

my camera sits on -5, the cube on 0. autofocus is deactivated.
the DOF values are measured from the camera lens, I presume
so my sharp area should be (in my world coordinates) from -4 to 42 on Z
this is visible in all techniques:

so I do net get a fully sharp, clear picture but the best is this; introducing a glow around the edges
