When I erase or delete, ghost objects are appearing

If I choose to erase something with anything other than the box eraser, it will leave distorted ghost images in the place of what I erased. Something similar happened today when I selected a large portion of the document and hit Delete. I attached a snippet of the canvas. The line you see in it did not exist there before.

Could you please post a screenshot with the pertinent Panels (Toolbar, Layers, Channels, Options Bar, …) visible?

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?

No error message or indication that anything has gone wrong.

I am either deleting or erasing. It happens on both, though only in a selection box for the eraser tool.

I'm on an i7-9700K with an RTX 2070 and 16GB DDR4 3200.

I edited my original post and uploaded a screenshot of the entire screen, eraser tool selected.
