This is the clock. I see similar with a 1280x1024 display, and only shows ellipsis at 1920x1080.
That would be the clock and I see this issue even on Windows. One particular thing is that if you use the mouse, the clock reappears. Get back to the controller, the clock turns back to some dots.
Edit: ah, a bit late...
~Issue does not occur on my Gentoo desktop, possibly font related.~ Use keyboard only or controller-only input to reproduce this issue.
Would like to confirm this bug still exists in July 17 2017 build on SteamOS, and accidentally caught it on camera in another bug report: https://youtu.be/AJ0O14sdNeU?t=53s
The clock becomes visible when the mouse is used
