global variable pop ups showing on start error

I have some pop ups throughout my app which use variables.

A pop up and text box has the variable 'Popup1' in its Visible function

A button has the OnSelect function set to Set(Popup1, true)

A close icon on the popup has the OnSelect function set to Set(Popup1, false)

I have done this on other apps and it works fine, the pop up is not visible until the button is clicked to show it.

On the current app I'm working on however, all variables are showing on the screen on starting the app. So the pop ups are visible, you have to press the close icon to hide them, then it works as it should from then on.

Considering this hasn't happened before I'm not sure if this is a bug or if I'm missing something. To my understanding, global variables should be blank or 'false' as standard. Any ideas?

I'm guessing I can get around this by setting the OnStart to Set all variables to False, but there are a lot of variables and I'd rather not do this if I don't have to.

Updating here, issue is still ongoing; the only difference I've been able to work out between this app and previous ones I've made without this issue is that these variables are on data cards within a Form (which is in New mode); on other apps I did not use Forms.

Is there any way bar manually setting them all to false OnStart to make these no value/invisible on starting the app? I don't see why it should make a difference that it's in a NewForm but apparently it does.

Replying again with more info because I've noticed it's not actually on start up that it does this (at least when loading the editor - not sure about when live).

When I first open the app it works as it should (no pop ups are visible), however then within a couple of minutes it loads a bit and all the pop ups are suddenly visible, despite nothing being pressed.

I'm honestly at a loss as to what is causing this and can't find anything online about this sort of issue.
