How to get rid of extra code added when saving posts

    I’ve noticed that since I upgraded WP to the new version, whenever I save a post the following code gets added to the end of the post in the source code view:

    ***********
    <span style=”border-radius: 2px; text-indent: 20px; width: auto; padding: 0px 4px 0px 0px; text-align: center; font: bold 11px/20px ‘Helvetica Neue’,Helvetica,sans-serif; color: #ffffff; background: #bd081c no-repeat scroll 3px 50% / 14px 14px; position: absolute; opacity: 1; z-index: 8675309; display: none; cursor: pointer; top: 44px; left: 1099px;”>Save</span>
    ************

    If I save a post 10 times, this entire code is added each time.

    To get rid of it I have to change to the code view, strip out the additions and then save the post before changing back to the “visual” view.

    I would appreciate knowing how to prevent it from happening in the first place.

    Many thanks!

    This may be a plugin or theme conflict. Please attempt to disable all plugins, and use one of the default (Twenty*) themes. If the problem goes away, enable them one by one to identify the source of your troubles.

    It could be a Pinterest plugin. Searching for “z-index: 8675309” brought up a lot of Pinterest references. It could also be a browser extension that adds a feature to your browser.

    Thanks both for your suggestions.
    The site in question is way too busy to change to another theme even temporarily, but the Pinterest thought caught my attention because I recalled seeing its symbol when the mouse moved over an image in the editor.
    I do not ever recall adding anything to do with Pinterest but I checked out my Firefox addins and much to my surprise found a plugin for it. When I removed that and restarted my browser, the issue went away.
    So thanks again for the detective work and a successful conclusion. Most appreciated!
