There are strange white boxes that appears in the image only when I go to export it.   I've included an example below.  Massive time-waster trying to solve for these 'phantom' boxes - please help.

 

Thanks!

After an hour of toiling fruitlessly, a friend suggested I try flattening all the layers and that solved it.  I don't understand why that works, but it did.

But now the Layers are gone … 

 

If you can undo that or still have a layered copy: 

Does turning on Photoshop > Preferences > Performance > Legacy Compositing and restarting Photoshop have any bearing on the issue? 

Does turning off »Use Graphics Processor« in the Performance Preferences (Photoshop > Preferences > Performance > Graphic Processor Settings) and restarting Photoshop have any bearing on the issue?
