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.

Did you check if your hardware meets the requirements?

Can you check if there is an update for your video card?

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.
