No, not that I know of. I haven't added any apps in a year, and seeing as how the Share button is the exact same box that would appear if I manually clicked Share, I am certain it's not an app. It looks the same at first... the article appears in the feed with the comment box below it, but click on it (left, right, middle) and the Share link now opens for you and because of this new "feature", I ended up accidentally sharing a link to my own timeline with a comment I meant to leave for someone else. It also removes comments from view until you manually close the Share box.
Later testing seems to limit this unwanted feature (for me anyway) to news articles or raw URL links. Easy way to test this without going to any newsfeed URL or link is to right click and the Share box will automatically appear.
The types of content that don't do this are photos and YouTube thumbnails.
Edit: I removed most of my FB apps, many which I never use anymore and just have four now. Share box is still automatically opening after clicking URLs or news links.
I love foxes, especially the one in my avatar.
