Random Black Rectangle?

Seen this appear on two boxes now, for seemingly no reason a translucent black rectangle will appear on the screen. It is removable by the clear button.

Presumably this is a message box with no text?

Re: Random Black Rectangle?

I think it's just a harmless (annoying but harmless) bug. It really doesn't look like anything should be in it

Can you post a screenshot next time this happens? Is it happening on any particular channel?

Re: Random Black Rectangle?

I get this as well from time to time. It disappears with the channel bar but returns with the channel bar. If you change channels and then return to the original channel its gone.
