8 months ago I think this is because you're on Mint and they're not setting a CSS property correctly in the theme you're using, see https://github.com/gnome-terminator/terminator/issues/781, https://github.com/gnome-terminator/terminator/issues/441, and https://github.com/gnome-terminator/terminator/issues/293 for others with the same issue, and specifically https://github.com/gnome-terminator/terminator/issues/293#issuecomment-761613693 for an easy fix/workaround.

OS: Linux Mint 21.2, xfce, 64bit cmptr: Compulab FitLet2 ordered as "MintBox Mini 2 Pro" Detailed info is appended below.
I recently installed Mint 21.2 from scratch on a new SSD. After a few weeks, I installed Terminator using the Software Manager.
Describe the bug Terminator opens and appears to work correctly. Then I split the initial window with Right Click -> Split . Instead of a clean split between the two windows, a thin band of transparency along the split (several pixels wide) shows whatever is behind Terminator on the screen; either the wallpaper (default LM wallpaper) or any other window. This happens for both horizontal and vertical splits. No change when the Terminator window is maximized or reduced to a smaller window; the transparent strips persist.
I uninstalled/reinstalled Terminator. Same behavior.
Exit Terminator, deleted the config file, restarted Terminator. Same behavior.
No other programs have window problems, only Terminator.
Screenshots Screenshots (2) show full screen and reduced, both with transparent splits:
