Strange Things Outside of Shapes

Title may be a little confusing, sorry about that. Lately I have been experiencing this strange problem, there are unusal things if curves of two adjacent shapes are overlapping. I know they weren't there before but I am not sure when I first see them, maybe one or two months ago. Please see the images below, I am referring to jagged things just outside of each shape. When I export the design as png or pdf, they disappear but remain in the original file.

Hello Ton,

I use MacBook Pro with M1 Pro so I don't think there is an update for GPU but I am currently on MacOS Monterey beta 12.4. I will look into downgrading to latest official release if it is possible.

I see, updating drivers for a built in card on a Mac is out of your control.

But beta OS software is not a good idea unless you are a developer.
