text highlight issue

[Erniene]

Hello,
I am running into an XWPGD issue where i have say a rectangle and then click with the text in the box, and it highlights the object in a light green line.
I don't know how to disable this, but from working for a long time on this, I never ran into it, until I got this installed on a new work computer.
Is there a way to disable this behavior?

that sounds to me like the text is in a text area [box], you can check by seeing what it says for the object in the page and layer gallery

if it is, the green outline is normal when the text area is selected, it shows the boundary of the area so you can place it correctly
