Ok, the green border of the text area only shows that the text area ist empty. It shows also on a normal empty text area.

@DanDelix
You're right, to change the shape to a inside text area, the shape must selected before.

To deactivate we can change the registry entry like in post #7 from HAAKOO. Ok, this could be implemented in the properties.

Also:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Xara\XtremePro x64\15\Options\ShapePainterTool\EraserBreaksShape
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Xara\XtremePro x64\15\Options\ShapePainterTool\ShowSketchModeButt on
and so on, and so on …
