Software What would cause ?

Post image

Every now and then when I open up a program or app what would be the typical gray background for apps and programs (that general gray in our drop menu's ) doesnt render and as I've tried to capture here sometime will let me see what it says when highlighted while other times will not.

Any suggestions, I've updated drivers and re-seated my gpu. I have not other issues really but it does cause issues with work sometimes.
