Black boxes and transparent modals in Figma desktop on macOS 26.5.2 (Tahoe)
I'm getting boxes rendering all over the place. It happens “lightly” when navigating around, but it’s particularly “heavy” when Figma is doing some heavy lifting - like using the AI agent.

Screen shot of the bug in action:
Steps to reproduce:
1. Open Figma desktop
2. Run an agent task like - replace copy with lorem ipsum.
3. Black boxes appear over elements, or the panel shows content behind it instead of a solid background
Expected: UI renders cleanly with solid, opaque panels and no black box artifacts
Actual: Rendering artifacts as described above
Troubleshooting already done:
- Reproduces on a fresh macOS user account with only Figma installed, so it's not caused by another app, extension, or corrupted preferences
- Reproduces in Safe Mode
- Happens on both the internal display and an external display
- Updated to the latest version of Figma desktop, issue persists
