rectangle box around measure
I accidentally hit something that created a rectangular box around one stave in a measure. It goes away when I move out of that measure, but I wonder what damage it's doing. Any ideas?

Can you post the file? Or even a screenshot?

It sounds like "SmartFind and Paint," an old and arcane feature. It's bound to Ctrl-F. I don't think it survives saving, closing, and re-opening the file, but just type Ctrl-F again. If that doesn't get rid of the box, go to Edit/SmartFind and Paint/Deselect SmartFind Source.

Thanks to both of you. It seemed to disappear with I closed the file and reopened.
