A possible cause could be you have enabled "Application theming" or "Use bitmap for application background". Just guessing. I did not have this problem even once in the last 14 years.

I am using that environment for last year or something like that and it started having this error like in a last month or so...
If i have the white background off course i cant notice that. 
Ill try to look around maybe something pops up.
