Boundaries in a stacked histogram are overloaded with bars

I am trying to create a complex histogram where some of the bars get black board and others don't. For this I set the color depending on the selected variable. When true, the border is black, otherwise it is transparent.

Problem: when the first bar has a border, the right edge of the border is overlapped by the second band.

Here is my code and picture of the problem:

    #Sample Data
    Var1 <- rep(c("A1","A2"),4)
    Var2 <- c("Q1","Q1","Q2","Q2","Q3","Q3","Q4","Q4")
    Freq <- c(4,2,6,2,6,4,9,3)
    choose <- c(F,F,T,F,F,T,F,T)

    df <- as.data.frame(cbind(Var1,Var2, Freq,choose))


    g<- ggplot(df, aes(x=factor(Var2), y=Freq))+ 
      geom_bar(stat="identity", aes(fill = Var1, color = choose), size = 3) +
      scale_color_manual(values = c('FALSE' = 'transparent', 'TRUE' = 'black'))+
      coord_flip()

    g

      

Problem

I tried to fix this by drawing the border after the bars with padding = NA, this does drawing over the bars but not in the correct position.

    g<- ggplot(df, aes(x=factor(Var2), y=Freq))+ 
      scale_color_manual(values = c('FALSE' = 'transparent', 'TRUE' = 'black'))+
      geom_bar(stat="identity", aes(fill = Var1))+
      geom_bar(stat="identity", aes(color = choose),  fill = NA, size = 3)+
      coord_flip()

    g

      

Problem fix

Any ideas how to fix this?

Match Var1

with aesthetics group

to take things away in the second geom_bar

.



ggplot(df, aes(x=factor(Var2), y=Freq))+ 
    scale_color_manual(values = c('FALSE' = 'transparent', 'TRUE' = 'black'))+
    geom_bar(stat="identity", aes(fill = Var1))+
    geom_bar(stat="identity", aes(color = choose, group = Var1),  fill = NA, size = 3)+
    coord_flip()
