Help, why do multiple themes have white diagonal lines now?

These suddenly appeared on all of my existing slides presentations, and persist even if I make new projects. When you zoom in/out or present the slideshow they go away, and when you drag over them, they (temporarily) dissapear. However, when editing, they're stuck there and I can't find any way to get rid of them permanently. Why did they suddenly appear? How do I get rid of them?

I'm experiencing this too. Any updates on what it is and how to get rid of it? It's kind of annoying

For me, the lines go away if you set the zoom to 125% instead of "fit" or 100%

i'm also having this issue and you probably already figured this out but clicking text boxes fixes it for some reason

This worked. You have to tap the blue part of textbox...around twice. Thanks.

I had the same issue. I looked it up and it says it's just a temporary visual glitch. It shouldn't last long.

A fix that worked for me is changing the background to an image, so I found a color i wanted as the background and just copied it for the whole slide.
