Strange Popups in Normal View
This happens on my home laptop and desktop, but nowhere else.
I am typing text (in Normal view) and this strange popup occurs. The icon looks like a skinny vertical rectangle with a black circle on top and a black circle on the bottom, with a blank square in the middle. When it pops up it highlights the text I have just typed. If I don't notice the popup and continue typing, the highlighted text I have just typed is overwritten by the new text I type. I have to click at the end of my text and continue typing to keep from overwriting my existing text. The popup lasts only a few seconds. Does anyone have any idea what this is, and how do I stop it? Thanks, Robert |
