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?

By the way, you have posted in the Songwriter subforum. If you are using Finale, please repost your question in the proper forum. More people are likely to see it, there.

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.
