Weird Crosshair Gnome Desktop

I am on Debian Buster amd64 with gnome-shell 3.30.1-2. I just did some updates and noticed that I now have this crosshair pattern on the desktop/background.
Does anyone know why this pattern, seen below, has appeared?




  • Testing featured that was left enabled?

  • New window organization hint?

  • Weird plugin on my part?


Thanks!

  • Does the pattern survive when you change the background image?

  • No. The cross is gone if I change it to another background. The background previewer seems to think that that particular (default) background has a cross on it.

  • If I reselect the default background, the cross still appears. I checked out all the images in /usr/share/wallpapers . None of those SVGs show a cross in them using eog viewer. Maybe a Gnome background SVG rendering error?

  • There's a similar cross near one of the corners of the lower left preview as well.

  • Compare this question that involves PNG and Windows: Invisible PNG Image Layer that is only visible as a background. Can something similar happen with SVG and Debian? It's worth investigating.

.everyoneloves__top-leaderboard:empty,.everyoneloves__mid-leaderboard:empty,.everyoneloves__bot-mid-leaderboard:empty{ margin-bottom:0; } 17 1 Today, I found myself discussing what students should have "under their belts" during a lecture, and I wondered to myself if there was some inappropriate undertone here that I might be unaware of. Question : What is the origin of the phrase "under your belt"? A google search revealed some webpages (e.g. [1]) that assert its origin is related to consumption of food -- once a meal has been eaten, it's under your belt (which is a relief). However, with such websites, I have no way to determine fact from "random guy on the internet making stuff up". etymology idioms ...
