Weird Grid Program Running

I don't know happened but I have a weird program that is running. Whenever I try to swipe to another screen it draws a blue line. It doesn't matter what I do, a blue appears. If I drag my finger around the screen the blue line follows. It is almost like a grid feature. Along the top of the status bar is a grey bar with a serious of columns that update with the position of my finger. The first column in the grey bar is "P: 0/1".

Does anyone know what this is and how I remove it?
 
That worked perfectly.

I searched the forums and others have had this happen. Here is what I found:

Solution: Select Settings from the home screen,
scroll all the way down to the bottom, select
Developer options. Then you should see
{"Pointer Location" Screen overlay showing
current touch data} Uncheck it and the problem
should go away.
