FOSS gamedev and creative worlds

Hello,
I have a problem with a small rectangular green box appearing in the top left corner of the screen. When this happens, I cannot access the inventory. To make it go away I have to press ESC, sometimes repeatedly. I notice it often appears when I mouse over a chest or furnace. It also partly covers up the chatbox.
I use Linux.

Any advice?

What's your minetest version?

I use 0.4.14, which I believe is the most recent version.

I just had this happen as well. It showed up in the very upper left, and between some amount of pressing escape, clicking, and right-clicking, I was able to get rid of it. It not only prevented access to inventory, it also prevented access to furnace, chests, etc.

Minetest 0.4.14 for OS X 10.11.6, downloaded from https://github.com/krondor-game/minetest/releases

I was playing a custom subgame with many mods. I can't remember exactly what I was doing when it happened.

Same here with 0.4.14 but on OS X 10.10.

I've also noticed this, although it usually stays for less than a second, I think it's the formspec being incorrectly drawn before completely loading.

Are you talking about the green box like in the screenshot?

This box disapears if I hover another formspec element that provides a tooltip.

Yes. Annoying af.

Maybe, but sometimes it even happens with an innocent mouse-over
Poor chests.

addi, yes, that's the green box caught red-handed.
