What is this white box on my Dashboard widget?

Does anyone know what the white box represents on the Dashboard widget in the lower-left of the attached screenshot? The widget in the lower-right was copied from the one in the lower-left and, when I changed the sheet it's linked to, the box disappeared.

If it matters, the the sheet linked to the widget with the box was created by someone else but I am now the owner.

That is just a graphic that shows where the data is coming from. Report widgets will have a small blue report graphic in the title bar.

If you edit the widget title, you can remove this graphic. That may be the difference between them is that the title was updated.

Hmm. I just noticed that widget is the only one where the widget titles matches the sheet name exactly. I did a test and changed the title of one of the other widgets to the sheet name and that graphic appeared. That's a strange feature.

Ah. Ok. I knew it had to do with where the data was coming from. I just hadn't done much testing with it outside of noticing that every time I updated the widget, the graphic would disappear. I didn't realize it was actually based on matching the source sheet/report's name. That is kind of odd the way that works...
