I have been noticing a weird occurence in my wordpress text editors (not the visual editor) where wordpress is adding a hidden word inside of a <span>. It is the word “SAVE”. I don’t know why this is happening and I thought maybe it was isolated to the theme I was using for a client but then I saw it again in a totally different theme. And it is also happening on this theme as well! The z-index is way off and the opacity is way down which is probably why it can not be seen on the page when visitors view the site. Below is an image of the code being injected (and no, I have not been hacked) and I also added a code block of it below. If anyone has this issue and finds a fix, please let me know and I will post it here. Thanks!
[code language=”css”]<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: 95px; left: 279px;”>Save</span>[/code]
Here is the code that was on this site:
[code language=”css”]<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;”>Save</span>[/code]
So did you figure out why this is happening? I’ve seen it on a few of my sites as well. Thanks.
Take a look here .. I had same problem. It was Pinterest Plugin in my Firefox Browser

I have seen this too. A bit of googling returns results indicating that it is an issue with a pinterest addon for firefox, which my experience supports.
I don’t know if you ever found the solution to this, but I was having the same problem and it was bugging the hell out of me. Finally I found the solution, and why it’s such a rare bug. It only happens when you’re using firefox with the Pinterest save add-on installed. Disable that, and it will go away.
