Opi

Only if I am mousing over an image, when I hit the shift key this circle appears.  
Is this an Opus feature?  
I saw this post but dont think related  
[SendKey including modifier key (keydown:shift) in output](https://resource.dopus.com/t/sendkey-including-modifier-key-keydown-shift-in-output/50728)  
I am not runing PowerToys  
I do run AHK but when I exit that still happening  
Also run FastStone Capture but close that also still happening.  
If I open an image file from Windows Explorer I dont have it.

Confused.....

> When selecting an area in the viewer (e.g. to copy it to the clipboard or crop) a magnifier now appears near the mouse cursor making it easier for you to position the selection. When the magnifier is visible, you can:

Is there a setting to turn this magnifying glass off?  
I cant see one but it might be there  
When I hit the shift key to select multiple filest his new feature stops me.

The work around is to move the mouse off the viewer.  
I would turn it off it I can though.....
