New Green Digital Display?

I don't know what this but it suddenly began appearing in my Opera browser, version 22.0.1471.70. There is a green number in the upper-right over the "X" (closing) button. It isn't an FPS counter. It displays seemingly random numbers like 50, 12, 1, 17, 3, etc. whenever I hover over it. It also appears in every drop-down list when using Opera. It does not appear in any other application.

Here is a screen shot of this post area with the drop-down open. You can see the "4" there.

The only thing I've added before noticing this is Opera Mail. Any ideas?

Probably a forum thing although i've noticied it before.

Or it happens on all sites? If so, maybe an extension is doing it?

He did say "over the X", no website could do that. Some sort of debugging option? Opera mail has no impact on the browser.

This is odd: It disappeared. I think it was actually from a webpage that was open. I frequently keep a lot of browser tabs open and I closed a lot and it is gone. I have no clue but it must have been coming from a website, perhaps like those funny cursors that some pages have.

No need to necropost, Josh. A spammer had posted here, I killed it - but the thread still stuck near the top.
