I haven't been able to determine how to reproduce it, but I have come across this bug (see the attached screenshot, disregard the glitched out scrollbar, I'm making a ticket for that issue shortly).

It appears to be a new bug introduced in 2024.1.

I think this is an issue with Canvas and reset. Can anyone confirm if this happens when there is no reset (Shift+ESC) involved?

  Hey Fernando, I didn't reset the sim with Shift+ESC at any point.

    I suspect the issue the OP is showing is vaguely related to yours, but they are different. I can reproduce the Canvas tooltip going white and slightly transparent on reset, but I cannot reproduce your white square.
    
    Is your white square supposed to be a Canvas dialog? Or is it something else?

Hi gents,
I had this issue when the scenery warning appeared.
See the mailing list thread called "The TerraSync warning breaks the popuptips"
I should have wrote "Scenery warning", but nevermind that.

The white square is a popup tip that was "TRYING" to show but fail.

Kind Regards,
Josh

  Thanks for the lead Josh. That thread seems to have a lot of useful info to help debug the issue.
