Public bug reported: I noticed this crossed circle when i started using linux (pop_os). Initially it seemed insignificant and harmless, but over time it started affecting typing with my keyboard. It also affected my video playback - always pausing the video.
I installed the ubuntu distro with hopes of eliminating the problem, but it still persists. The only improvement is that the crossed circle doesn't interfer with my keyboard and video playback for now, despite it still appears on my screen. But i believe it's just a matter of time before the interference resumes. I have attached a screenshot to this report containing the crossed circle symbol.
