This glitch only appears in a wave-based reward interface. In the event that this glitch occurs:

*Continuing the mission will dismiss the reward interface and the mission will continue normally. This glitch may repeat itself in the same session.
There are rare occasions where the timer box is empty, with both options replaced with "RANDOM MISSION". In the case of this occurrence, it is impossible to click either options, and instead the game will start the next wave with the reward interface in the way.Steam - Screenshot by HI-GRAV
