Bug Description

I'm assuming this is due to a lens but I'm not sure. All I know is after using the desktop for a while I end up with this white box in the upper left. It happens on both my precise machines, one with ATI graphics and the other with Intel graphics so I don't think it's driver related (it also never happened before.)

I have the HUD disabled because I originally thought it was to blame so I know that's not it.

There's no way of making the box disappear that I know of. It's very annoying as you can imagine.
