I can also mention that changing my theme from Ambiance to Adwaita removed the issue. All the other accounts use Ambiance so there must be user level settings that is triggering this.

I think this affect apps using a certain feature in gnome libraries so only gnome apps are affected and often the ones with white text areas. As an example of text area not affected I notice gnome-terminal seems fine. Details: I've followed https://www.linuxuprising.com/2018/07/how-to-replace-nautilus-with-nemo-file.html and use nemo-desktop as my file manager. I've used nemo in 16.04 without problems. My other family members have users that use nautilus and they do not have the same problems as me.
