I'm sorry to apologize for this problem, this issue is an appearance problem, it does not affect other Gmail elements. "


Also at the forum in Japan, "I am sorry to hear that the skull mark has disappeared if I fix the problem and update (reload) Gmail. I am sorry for the inconvenience Since Gmail is functioning properly, there is no harmful effect at all, so do not worry. "
