Default Strange green "Forward" in bottom right of screen, messes up browser use

My boss has gotten something I have never heard of before. Sometimes when
he is on the internet a green text "Forward" will show up on the bottom
right of his screen, sitting on top of taskbar and some of the web page.
When it is there, it is will sometimes keep him from going "back" to earlier
pages, and sometimes when he clicks on it, it acts like a "forward" button,
other times it does nothing. It does not have a GUI button or anything,
just large green text.

Has anyone heard of this before?

This might be related to his internet keyboard or mouse with
forward/back buttons?

More likely a video driver problem.
Reducing display requirements would be a standard workaround.
