May 6, 2016 9:21 AM in response to macjackby Sajin7,Thanks zoom is not enabled in the System preferences. Smooth images was so I disable this.

This is what I see on my desktop the dotted? Box floats next to my cursor it turns in to a text bar occasionally sometimes the cursor disappears entirely for a moment. when I click on buttons to close or open finder windows I have to click twice or three times then there is a momentary delay then the window closes. Any thoughts? And I do appreciate you all for even taking the time to look at this and help me. Thanks. -

May 7, 2016 8:45 AM in response to Sajin7by Eric Root,Try a restart.
Do a backup, using either Time Machine or a cloning program, to ensure files/data can be recovered. Two backups are better than one.
Try setting up another admin user account to see if the same problem continues. If Back-to-My Mac is selected in System Preferences, the Guest account will not work. The intent is to see if it is specific to one account or a system wide problem. This account can be deleted later.

May 26, 2016 5:56 AM in response to Sajin7by Sajin7,In the strangest bit of weirdness this anomaly is gone. I zapped my pram. That didn't do it. However I noticed that at some point I was hooking my laptop up to external monitors, LCD projectors, and my classroom promethean board. I noticed this box no longer appeared. Could this be a issue related to external monitors possibly? Also I noticed when it did happen was when I using an internet browser. Any browser FF, Chrome, Safari. Its frustrating because I can't nail down one cause of the issue. But its no longer there so I'll be happy with that. I want to thank all of you who responded so quickly with really good suggestions to get this issue fixed. you are all wonderful! Cheers!

Jul 7, 2016 7:43 AM in response to Sajin7by MacManiacal,I am also having this issue but mine has not gone away. I also use a lot of external monitors, projectors, Promethean products. Sounds like we are both in a school environment. A little more info on my issue is that it happens at any time in many programs. Yours was just in a browser? when the box comes up I cannot type and it also manifests when i scroll in a document i am creating and it highlights everything yellow as if i am about to copy a portion of text. I then move the cursor and it highlights as i go and i try to press esc to make it go away. It gets so bad at times that i just give up and walk away. I am about ready to reimage my machine.
Does anyone know what this could be?
