      Have you tried to adjust the width of the border? (perhaps 3 pt) 
When I did this using 3.5 or 3.6, the double line appears although that 
may not be exactly what you are looking for.
     I have also tried changing the color of the border as well. 
Lighter colors seem to be more pleasing than black.
