I cannot reproduce this in the latest /trunk (SVN r29692)
No “Blue X” to be seen, screenshot https://i.cloudup.com/tqFgzJP6tm.png
It could be a plugin conflict, can you reproduce with all your plugins disabled?

Thanks Stephen, I deactivated all plug-ins, but still found the blue ‘X’.
Although I presume not related to the theme choice I did try with several other themes, but still found the ‘X’.
You also stated that the ‘X’ was BLUE, I haven’t seen a Blue X for a while, I think at one stage it may have been blue during the run up to 4.0 😉
WordPress 4.0-RC2 has just been released so if you want to upgrade and test it out that would be grand, detail here:
http://make.wordpress.org/core/2014/09/03/4-0-release-plan-update/
If you still see it, some screenshots and any other details that would help us reproduce it would be great also.

I am now on 4.0-RC2, but no change.
This is my test site running on XAMPP.
How can I send a screenshot?
What else should I look for?
Take a screenshot, upload it to your cloud/media sotrage of choice (imgur, cloudup, cloud.ly, etc), link here 🙂
I have a blue X on Chrome: https://cloudup.com/cuKJENsrleJ
But it’s in the right place.
Site Title edit doesn’t have a problem: https://cloudup.com/cCdr1bJ2Snt
Though the color changes to black and stays black until I click on anything (and by that I mean anything, I can click on empty space on the screen and it’s gone). Odd.
Looks like that’s from this:
.customize-controls-close:focus,.customize-controls-close:hover{color:#0099d5}
So it starts out as being the focus and once the page is used, it loses focus and changes.
Make sure you’ve hard-flushed your CSS cache.

Hi Mika,
Much trouble with cloud. Cloudup and cloud.ly have not given me access yet, imgur is blocked by my ISP. My ASUS Web Storage expired recently and although I could log on, had to change user and p/w, slow in replying. Screenshot – hope that the link works works now: https://www.asuswebstorage.com/navigate/s/39FA867164934E699D90386753B2E7F6Y
I checked using Firefox, Google, Opera, Safari and IE9 all have similar display. Did flush!
I see the screenshot has black X! It is still blue on the page. Blue changes to black while page is being refreshed and then back to blue.
Now midnight and will not be able to send again until tomorrow.
No worries, Malae.

I cannot reproduce that particular problem on a clean site, or my personal site.
Please try setting SCRIPT_DEBUG to true in your wp-config: https://codex.wordpress.org/Debugging_in_WordPress#SCRIPT_DEBUG
Timezones and stuff…
Though the color changes to black and stays black until I click on anything (and by that I mean anything, I can click on empty space on the screen and it’s gone). Odd.
This should ‘now’ be black irrespective of admin theme colors choice via r29697 in #29147.
I also still cannot reproduce with SCRIPT_DEBUG true or false.

Now running WordPress 4.0-RC3
The ‘X’ is now black!
Set define('WP_DEBUG', true);
WP_DEBUG screenshot shows two plug-ins with issues, see:
https://www.asuswebstorage.com/navigate/s/4C5CD499E3F94299BCD8794FD5017D43Y
The plug-in issues disappear after deactivated these plug-ins.

Do you have a screenshot of the X in the customizer?
Is it still showing in an incorrect position as per your original post?
If it is also try using define('SCRIPT_DEBUG', true); in your wp-config.php file rather than define('WP_DEBUG', true);, can you add that as a new line under your WB_DEBUG line, details here:
https://codex.wordpress.org/Debugging_in_WordPress#SCRIPT_DEBUG
Your other issues with the notices are not related to the upcoming WordPress 4.0 release, details on fixing these is below:
The debug notices you added in the above screenshots, one is, possibly both related to the Audio Player plugin, possibly the same plugin is the cause of the has_cap deprecated notice, though it could be another plugin, to test this disable the ‘Audio Player’ plugin and check if all the notices are gone, if not keep deactivating your other plugins until the has_cap deprecated notice is gone to find the conflicting plugin.

The ‘X’ position issue had disappeared, this morning with all plug-ins deactivated. Yesterday when I deactivated all plug-ins using Bulk Action | Deactivate, the “X” still was covering Colors in the Customize panel.
I then activated most of the plugs-ins except the ones showing messages in WP_DEBUG and the ‘X came back. The plug-in that will now cause the issue is Add Logo to Admin ver. 1.6.
I also activated a plug-in that I don’t usually activate on my test site: UpdraftPlus – Backup/Restore and it produced another message:
Notice: Undefined offset: 1 in H:\xampp\htdocs\wordpress\wp-admin\includes\upgrade.php on line 1747
The other message:
`Notice: has_cap was called with an argument that is deprecated since version 2.0! Usage of user levels by plugins and themes is deprecated. Use roles and capabilities instead. in H:\xampp\htdocs\wordpress\wp-includes\functions.php on line 3318′
is caused by DNUI (Delete not used images)plugin ver 1.3.1 and disappears when deactivated
Thanks for the follow up, and glad the original issue is now resolved.
For your plugin issues, I’d suggest posting a question on each of the plugins support forums and/or reading theie support section for known issues, reporting issues etc.

Thanks for the reply and your assistance.
I have already posted regarding two of the plug-in issues with the details and am working on the other two right now. I hope that the authors can benefit from the heads up, with the release of WP 4.0 imminent.
