Hello All, when I am typing I sometimes see a highlighted blue box around where I am typing.

Anyone know what the cause of this is?

Thanks,

Pat

Everything I Type Ends In Search Bar in Launchpad Okay this is a weird one. I've noticed that absolutely everything I type anywhere, be it in a browser, in Notes, or anywhere else, ends up in the search bar in Launchpad, including the text I'm typing right now, see screenshot below. Yes, it includes passwords. I can see a huge confidentiality risk here. Malware maybe? How can I get rid of that?

Grey box appears when typing in Safari Hi! Today a grey oval (or box depending on browser) started appearing at the end of words when I'm typing. I think I might have pressed something as it seems to have appeared out of nowhere. It does not appear when I'm typing this though which is strange. In Firefox it also seems to prevent me from using spacebar more than once, only moving the box when I try. I tried making a new user on my Mac but it appears there as well. I'm running the latest version of Ventura on a Macbook Air M1. Thank you!
