Little Blue Cloud? Why is it there?

[Jamie Williams]

I just noticed this little blue cloud looking thing in the bottom left corner of my screen. It is only on JIRA and only on one computer of mine that I use to access JIRA. Does anyone know what this is??? Thanks!

Hey @Jamie Williams , welcome to the Community!

This icon isn't a standard part of Jira. My guess is that the computer you're accessing it from has a browser extension installed that's doing... something? To investigate, I would check:

1. Do other browsers on the same computer show the same icon there? (if it doesn't happen in other browsers, it's definitely browser-related)
2. What extensions are running in the browser you've used in the screenshot?

If that doesn't help pin it down, you could also inspect the element on the page to see if the URL of the image gives any clues. In Chrome, this is just Right Click -> Inspect, and you should see some information about the icon.

An interesting mystery! Looking forward to hear what you find.

Cheers,
Daniel

Oh man! I feel dumb! It is an extension on the Google Chrome browser called Co-Writer. It is enabled through my organizations policy, so they must have pushed this out recently. Thank you so much for tips and help! I appreciate it! :)

@Jamie Williams what computer system are you using?  iOS or Windows or something else?

And, does anything happen when you click on it?  It appears to be a comment icon.
