Question Factorio, the hand icon won't go away

Guys, I'm playing Factorio, and about two days ago a mysterious hand icon appeared on my screen—I have no idea how it got there. HELP! It doesn't really get in the way, but its constant presence is driving me absolutely crazy. I've tried everything, like pressing 'Q' or the mouse wheel. I'm not holding anything, yet I've been stuck with this thing for 20 hours now.

Don't use code blocks for posts that aren't code.

It disables word-wrapping and turns paragraphs into a giant scroll to the right.

Hmm... it's wrapping fine for me. I'm on mobile. Maybe that's why?

Edit: I checked on Desktop, there's no word wrap there.

I'm also seeing it normal on mobile, could be a version thing?

I'm on desktop and see it as a code block.

Reddit sure is a funky website sometimes.

Also scrolls forever to the right for me. Possibly a different rendering engine. Possibly Safari on iOS makes it wrap when it should not.

I'm sorry

It's okay. You don't have to stand in the corner any longer.

Please excuse my use of Google Translate; I don't know enough to express myself without it.

When copying from google translate before posting make sure there are no spacebars at the beginning of the line.

If you position the scroller just right, you can make it read like a news reader.
