Whenever I create text or place a PNG file, this transparent box appears between the text/PNG and the layers behind them. How do I make this go away?

Are you sure this is Illustrator?

Can you select something and show more about the selection, like the layers, appearance and transparency panel?

Hi Ton,

 

I believe this was a performance issue on my Mac. Once I turned off 'GPU Performance', the transparent boxing disappeared and hasn't showed up again. Thank you!

Good to hear you've got it working. You may want to try to temporarely turn GPU on/off with Cmd or Ctrl E
