Question

Strange border when Glass effect is applied in file 2 and not file 1 (file 1 is my component library)

I’m using Figma desktop app on a mac. When I apply the glass effect on a UI frame in file 2, a strange dark border appears. When I apply the same glass effect on the exact same UI frame in file 1 (my component library), a strange dark border appears. Can someone help me troubleshoot this pls?? Thank you!!

I’m using Figma desktop app on a mac. When I apply the glass effect on a shape/frame, a dark border appears and I can’t seem to lighten or make the border go away regardless of the Glass effect’s parameters. Can someone advise me on what to do please? Thank you!
