[Bug]: Annoying screen block bug! #935

Closed

Description

Describe the bug

Super annoying bug.
It took a while to figure out it was massCode.
I had installed OCR and other software, and couldn't figure out what was causing it.
It's massCode. Specifically the sync engine.
I keep getting a rainbow square in the middle of my screen. I thought it was the new OCR software, because it's a screen issue, but I figured out it was massCode on my server.
On one computer, it vanishes too fast to see what it is, but on the other, it stayed stuck open long enough to find it.
There's no text on it to ID it, and it has no purpose. Maybe it was a debugging flag, and they forgot to remove it.
It's super annoying when you have bad glitches on a system, and have to spend hours hunting for it.

To reproduce

happens all the time in the background, so it was hard to nail down what was doing it.

App Version and Architecture

5.11, Ubuntu 26, Wayland

System info

Multiple Ubuntu Linux 26, Wayland.
I have not see it pop up on MacOS.

    There isn’t enough information here to investigate or establish that massCode’s sync engine is responsible.

    Please provide:

    • A screenshot or screen recording of the rainbow square.
    • The exact massCode version.
    • Steps or specific conditions that trigger it.
    • How you identified massCode, and specifically its sync engine, as the source. Does it stop happening when massCode is fully quit?

    Without this evidence, we can’t confirm the cause or take action on this report.
