I made a manual dump so you can see why this strange window appears.

When working via remote access, this window makes the mouse bounce around the screen sometimes.

This happens frequently. When a popup decides to open and quickly close, or a window decides to crash or something like that. Leaves a white square that is on TOP of everything, really annoying. Only way to fix is restart groupy (turn on/off)

 

White square
