issue with copy and paste

not sure what has happened here, however my 3 year old grandson was sat at my pc while i was out at the shop and I suspect he has touched some keys, please refer to pictures.

this is now what happens when i right click my mouse, it didnt use dto do this as i used to be able to copy and paste using the right key on my mouse.

Using my left button on my mouse now does this if a press and hold and swipe across pages

So presently I cannot copy and paste using my right button on my mouse.

Any help please, im using window 8.1 by the way.

    So the mouse is drawing green lines? and the right mouse button is now acting as the left mouse button?

  • That, to me, looks like some form of Accessibilty Feature (usually accessed via Control Panel somewhere). Might be Ease of Access in Windows 8
    Wouldn't surprise me if a key combination turns it on, (rather like Sticky Keys and hitting the shift key five times in a row).

    This looks an app or browser extension for writing/drawing on your screen.

    Maybe a bit like this one: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wksVWL7B4Uw

    If you already had the app/extension installed, it could be that your grandson clicked on an icon to start it.


    - Are there any windows behind your browser window?
    - Does the 'drawing' only happen on web pages in you browser - or on everything?
    - Does closing and restarting the browser help?
