Hello!
This mysterious box has been haunting me for quite some time.
Every-time I click on Finder, this box/window shows up and never goes away.
The box can change its size and place, but always stays on the left side.
The cursor does change to
"type" when hovered around the box.
Have no use for this box and its... plain annoying to say the least.
Hope someone can help :)
Best,
June

To trouble shoot further you can:
—SafeBoot How to use safe mode on your Mac - Apple Support
Takes a bit longer to get to the login screen, does a quick disk repair before it fully boots up, and certain system caches get cleared and rebuilt, including dynamic loader cache, etc.
Login and test. Reboot as normal and test. Caches get rebuilt automatically.
In Safe mode third party system modifications and system accelerations are disabled, it removes malware, etc hampering smooth operation, however a reboot will put it back to normal mode.
This test will tell you if third party interference; extensions etc are not loaded in safe boot mode.
—Test issue in another user (or guest user) account Set up users, guests, and groups on Mac - Apple Support
This will tell you if it a universal issue or isolated to your user/admin account.
Uninstall all third party apps that are Cleaners/Optimizers/VPN/Anti-Virus
all known to cause issues on the macOS
