Still investigating this, hard to reproduce, but something is wonky with the boxes for sure.

@castrojo @marzvrover I just ran into this or similar (bluefix-dx:latest)

I was able to fix my Terminal launched via Ctrl + Alt + T / Ctrl + alt + Enter by tinkering with gsettings cli / dconf GUI

(... I have no idea if this was The Right Way ™️ 😬 )

1. find how Ptyxis is invoked (Settings > Keyboard > Custom Shortcuts > Host Ptyxis) and it looks like it expects a Profile where the Profile's UUID matches the Host Container ID)

cat /usr/libexec/distrobox-quadlet-ptyxis.sh

2. find the expected container GUID for Host

cat /usr/share/ublue-os/bluefin-cli/known-containers

3. recreate that Ptyxis profile (replace $GUID with the Host UUID from previous step ☝ )

gsettings set org.gnome.Ptyxis.Profile:/org/gnome/Ptyxis/Profiles/$GUID/
gsettings set org.gnome.Ptyxis.Profile:/org/gnome/Ptyxis/Profiles/$GUID/ palette 'Dracula'
gsettings set org.gnome.Ptyxis.Profile:/org/gnome/Ptyxis/Profiles/$GUID/ label 'Host'
gsettings set org.gnome.Ptyxis.Profile:/org/gnome/Ptyxis/Profiles/$GUID/ opacity 0.88

gsettings set org.gnome.Ptyxis default-profile-uuid $GUID

4. exit Ptyxis session, and relaunch it w/ the keyboard shortcut
