Improvement to eliminate or manage the "Transparent Button" overlay issue in TM1 Web/PAW

In some TM1 Web/Planning Analytics Workspace screens, we frequently encounter a UI element labeled as "Transparent Button" overlapping other functional buttons or components. This ghost element seems to serve no clear purpose, and even when deleted during editing, it often reappears upon saving or refreshing the screen. This behavior leads to user confusion and impairs usability, especially when it covers interactive elements.

My suggestion is to investigate the origin and purpose of this "Transparent Button" and either:

Prevent it from being automatically inserted;https://bigblue.aha.io/products/PAOC/strategic_imperatives

Provide an option to permanently remove it;

Or include clearer documentation on its role and how to manage it effectively.

This improvement would enhance the stability and user experience of the platform by reducing layout inconsistencies and preventing interface clutter.
