Win7 CTRL+SHIFT+S creates strange red intersecting line angle?
Windows 7x64 produces a "corner" made of two red intersecting lines, with the mouse pointer nested into the corner when I press CTRL+SHIFT+S. This can then be moved anywhere on my displays, no matter if a program window is open or only the desktop is showing. Also, this is happening on THREE completely different Win7 PCs, which have different programs installed on them. See attached, but the mouse pointer doesn't get copied with the screen save I used to capture the red corner.
Oddly, I used this CTRL+SHIFT+S hotkey combination for over a decade to trigger a Quickeys macro on 2 of the PCs, when logging things in an OpenOffice Writer document, and it worked fine to print the defined text for the macro. In fact I used it many times a day. Only recently has this alternative action begun to take place. I had to re-define the macro hotkeys so I can still use that macro.
Anyone have any idea what that is, and how I might go about turning it off? If I press ESC when it appears, it will go away. Aside from that, I have no clue what it is for or how I might use it for anything useful. I am not able to find any info on what this might be.
