weird bar popping out when type in finder

as you can see there is a strange white bar popping out when i tried to rename a file. This bar cannot be fixed until I restart my computer. Is there any other solution to this problem, hopefully without restarting the device

I’ve never seen this behaviour before but the “catch all” try for any glitches is to boot in to Safe Mode by starting the computer with the shift key held down, let it finish then after a minute close down.


Safe Mode startup and close down does some house keeping, but not sure it will resolve your issue, but it’s quick so worth a go.

I did it and that bar disappeared for now, thanks!

it seems that if you restart the device the system somehow solve the issue on its own. But if the same kind of problem returns, I will report to Apple.


For those who experienced the same sort of problem as I did, RESTART YOUR DEVICE, safe mode startup and close down is the best shot.
