What is this weird scroll bar doing in my screen

Hi guys,

I just noticed that on my second screen (Dell) there a little black bar near my dock that resembles a scroll bar, and it doesn't do anything nor will it go away (see image; on the right, just between 'textWrangler' and 'Downloads').

Do you know what it is and how to get rid of it?

It only occurs on my second screen, if i unplug my MBP screen does not have it.

MBP touch bar late 2017, OS Sierra 10.12.6.

2nd Screen dell, connected through a belkin docking station.

MacBook Pro TouchBar and Touch ID, macOS Sierra (10.12.6), 15"

Is anything downloading? There is normally a progress bar under Downloads while downloading but it clears when the operation is complete, and your little stranger looks very much like a progress bar. Have you tried putting the external to sleep? Sometimes sleep will clear odd artifacts.

I think you may be right, but at the time of me posting nothing was downloading I think. Anyways, when i came in this morning it was gone! 🙂
