You have an "Untitled" document open in that video, according to the Toolbar. And it has an Artboard, according to the Layers panel and the labeling in the workspace.

[prophet]

yes, but when I close the document, I get the "holes" in the UI.

'tis a video not a screenshot

FYI this is a known issue in 2.2.0 for macOS in light mode without a document open. It was reported during the beta but hasn't been fixed yet:

Yes, and I corrected my post above (before your response).

And nothing happens in that video when I watch it. There's a document open at the beginning, and at the end.

The point is that — when there is no document open — some buttons (like Add under the selection) are transparent and let the desktop wallpaper appear through them.

If that's the point, why provide a video in which there's always a document open? Or what am I missing?

I guess the video isn't playing correctly for you. There's a document for the first five seconds, then no document for 14 seconds which demonstrates the problem, and then a new document for 5 seconds.

-> Obviously you are not seeing the video but instead just a still picture.

Are you browsing on Windows? Seems to me that some browsers have problems playing videos from MacOS screenrecordings which are usually ".mov".

I usually drop my screen recordings onto Handbrake to convert to MP4 before posting here.

 

Just to check on this off-topic forum/video-issue: Are you able to play the video in this linked bug report:

For avoidance of doubt, .mov screen recording converted to .mp4... A known and logged bug as mentioned above...

My Desktops are all just solid greys so I never noticed this before. That is so trippy. [old hippie flashback man emoticon]
