How did I trigger this?

I know that when I was messing around in guild admin with different shield emblems, the different shield icon I chose was displayed on the world map screen.
When I reset the game, everything was fine, but it’s one of those things I never changed, so it was a lingering bug waiting to happen…

@Darkborne Thanks for your feedback, but I don’t play with shieldemblems. Yes, I’m a guild assistant but I was just playing exploration and suddenly it was even square!?! In the middle of the game screen and everywhere in every mode until after restart. It was gone after restarting the game!

Same issue as this. Has been happening for months now.
Edit YEARS not months. Started happening in 2021 I believe.

Yep it’s the same bug that will pop up random squares in the middle of the screen in PvP. I’ve also had this same jumbled mess a few days ago.

I wish we knew also 
We actually had a programmer who normally works on PQ3 step in to try to get fresh eyes on the issue not too long ago and we’re struggling to work out why it’s appearing at all.
Can you ask your Guild Leader and any other rank 2 members if they were clicking through the shield icons around that time or recently?
Was there anything different about the Explore battle you played?
ie. did the menu do anything odd just before or as this appeared?
Was it a regular Explore battle, mini boss, mythic boss battle, mimic battle?
Did it appear inside the battle when it popped up the first time? Or was it when you were on the menu?
Anything you can remember at all about when it first appeared might be helpful.
Also I’ll move this to the bug report section so the rest of the team can spot it easier for follow ups.

Another random question:
Were you playing using the touch screen at this time?
I noticed in your screenshot that none of the controller button icons are showing up in the UI - and I’m wondering if they should have been and if at a stretch this could be a clue - I have no idea how controller recognition would cause the Guild Shield elements to appear in the middle of the screen but hey I’ll take any lead and code is weird at the best of times so who knows.

@Kafka Yes, it happened to me in exploration mode with touchscreen. My guildies haven’t changed anything on the sign and this has happened to me several times while exploring.
