So my cat jumped on my keyboard last night, as she is wont to do. This time she found a new key combination. It had two effects:


1. My menus are showing all the possible options. E.g., the Apple menu has a "Force Quit..." and a "Force Quit" option. The Safari File menu shows "Close Window" twice, and "Close Window..." twice. It looks as if every possible keyboard equivalent is being shown in the menu.

2. When I select any UI element, a black box is drawn around it. Example:



The black box around the Search field is the problem. Click on the screencap and you can see it better.

I've booted up in safe mode, and the problem persists. I've turned off Application Enhancer, and the problem persists. I'm not 100% sure it's a pure OS issue, but before I go disabling every damn thing one by one...


Anyone know what Maggie did, and how to fix it? Edit: [livejournal.com profile] crs knew exactly what it was. Awesome.

I hope my cats aren't secretly reading LJ while I'm out. The last thing they need is more ideas!
