Probably by accident. I also had extra menu choices in my Apple menu for Shutdown, Restart, etc. Regards, Brian Jeremy,

I think you have the Universal Access, Voice Over feature “on”. Probably by accident. I also had extra menu choices in my Apple menu for Shutdown, Restart, etc.

Same black box - but it occurs at any focus point, selected icons, search fields, menu bars, window panes, etc. whatever I have selected. I assume that it is the same type Universal Access type issue, but can't find an option for this... any ideas?? I have a similar – BUT NOT same issue.

The option above zoom is voice recognition, if this is switched on it uses a black box to show what is being spoken. Now you may think this would be obvious if a black box appears, as a voice will also be speaking. Well not if your Mac is plugged into your stereo and the stereo is switched off. After 2 hours of messing about I switched on the stereo to play some music through iTunes and figured it out. I had a similar problem and discovered this post thinking I’d fixed it.

Many times I've wanted to zoom in while designing websites and now I can. Goes to show there can be a silver lining to everything, although maybe not for the person having the problem, lol.
