Transparent sidebar (for navigation bar?) During games on screen.

Since today a sort of rounded off half transparent bar appeared on the top left of my screen. At first I thought maybe I had some screen damage. But I've tried all sorts of apps and it only shows during a game. When I touch it, the navigation bar shows. I've searched every item in the menu (I think) to fund a way of removing this bar, but came up with nothing.  Can you help me?

I've got screen shots but I couldn't attach them to this message unfortunately.

I wish I could, but as soon as I touch it , it expands about double it's size and instantly draws back again. It's a second. And after touching it, the navigation pops up. And the bar stays in it's original position.. 😕

Well its either game launcher or another random app thats doing this. Try go to apps > game launcher and disable it if not keep looking.

Ah okay, is this the only app in which you are experiencing this? In that case I would try to contact the developers of the app about it and/or submit this feedback through an error report in the Samsung Members app. Good luck!

Hi. I wish it was the only app I found it in, but it's in all games... and I just found out if I long press it, it becomes light blue and I can move it up and down... Screenshot_20211227-140507_Mergical.jpg

Mmm.. Do you also experience this in standard/pre-installed apps?

Nope, only in the games I use. I've gone through all apps I use on regular basis, but the bar doesn't show anywhere else. I used save mode to check.
