No programs open, just the desktop on the screen and I start to type: a
white box appears and keystrokes are displayed in it. [Return] makes it
go away again.

What is it? I don't recall seeing it before in years of using mint.

Rather useless feature imho. Unless a user has an extremely cluttered
desktop, in which case said user should perhaps get organized.
