Mysterious magnifying glass
I suddenly have a a rectangular magnifying glass on my screen. It moves with my cursor. Where did it come from and how do I remove it? It's driving me nuts!
Question marked as
I found this solution on a community board in Apple Support:
Hold down Option and Command. Hit 8 key - magnifying glass appears. Hit 8 again, it vanishes. You can set up the operation in system preferences, Accessibility under System. Tap Zoom under Seeing on the left, then check the Use keyboard shortcuts to zoom; you'll see Toggle Zoom on the first line with the symbols for Option and Command and the 8 key. That'll turn the magnifying glass on and off. If you don't want to use it at all, just uncheck the Use keyboard shortcuts to zoom box.
