Summarize your bug Finished talking with Matthias for the first time. his last line in his conversation bugged and was permanently on the screen, thinking it would come off in expedition it did not.

Summarize your bug The subtitles get stuck on my screen and do not disappear until you start another expedition.
How often does the bug occur? Every time (100%)
Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? Tab out of the game in the middle of a voice line with subtitles on, and tab back in after the voice line is finished, the subtitles should persist.
What happens when the bug occurs? Subtitles persist on screen.
What should be happening instead? The subtitles should no persist.

As above, when tabbing out and tabbing back in during a voice line with subtitles on, the subtitles will persist until another Expedition is launched.

Apologies, got the timing wrong on this. Tab out PRIOR to the voice line and tab out AFTER it has finished, that should cause the bug.

I'm having the same issue on the PC for Anthem subtitle is being stuck on the screen. Anyways to be able to turn off the sub for the game and just listen to the voice instead. I did the Alt TAb out also and cause that issue. I also re try without alt tab out and it got stuck later in the game from the chapter 2.

Seems like a universal problem. From my experience it seems to be alt-tabbing, so until a patch comes out the solution seems to be just not to alt tab when someone's talking.

Summarize your bug The subtitle bubble that appears on screen for the radios in tarsis got stuck on the screen and would not go away, could no longer read any other dialogue from other npcs.

Requires a complete shutdown of the game to get rid of it. Accessing the forge and other menus didn't get rid of it, I'm not sure if joining a mission would've helped, but I ended up closing the game to get it to go back to normal. 

 

Second time this has happened, previous time happened with lucky jak, though it coincided with my game minimizing because of a pop up on a website I was looking at.

Summarize your bug The subtitle got stuck on my screen and no new subtitles are displayed.
How often does the bug occur? Frequently (60% ~ 80%)
Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? By talking to the NPCs.
What happens when the bug occurs? The text gets stuck on the screen and won't go away.
What should be happening instead? It should disappear and not hang on the screen.

 

This issue is still occurring now on Feb 2022. Even after deactivating and reactivating the subtitles, the stuck subs are still there. 
It's probably related to the alt + tab behavior as reported by other players since I'm using 2 screens and I need to occasionally toggle them.
