Hi @rphillipchuk, that is a Conflict Palette. It has popped up because you have the same trigger (⌃⌥⌘C) assigned to two different Macros. You can click on the one you want to run. Or type the symbol in grey (in this case :leftwards_arrow_with_hook: or the space bar to run the Macro by a key press).

The Conflict Palette is not a "bad" thing. In fact it is a great way to run Macros. You can read more in this very recent thread:

Conflict palettes are great. They get you by two keystrokes (if you're careful) to run a function.

(By "careful" I mean such devices as putting a number (or a letter) at the front of each macro name.)
