Random Gray Box On Desktop

Hi. I have a MacBook Pro retina mid 2013 running Big Sur. Recently I keep having a light gray box with two lines appearing on my desktop randomly. It has a shorter line on top and a longer line at the bottom. It is a 2 inch square and sits about 2 inches on top of the dock. Can anyone help me with this ?


Many thanks.

Hi Jeff,


Thanks for picking up this thread. Much appreciated.


Yes, Big Sur is up to date and meet the gray box is still there.


However, in my frustration, I got a hold of "CleanMyMac"; ran it and the mysterious gray box is gone... well at least for the moment... :).


I will monitor and will come back if this gray box returns to haunt me. I am still trying to figure out what I did, so bad to this gray box, that it has decided to come haunt me in this life... ???


Thanks again... and y'all have a great day ahead and a great 2022..
