allone Posted February 2 Author Share Posted February 2 thank you… here is a screen shot. the red is around that letter, as well as any other letter i attempt to type in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thomaso Posted February 2 Share Posted February 2 It could be a stroke assigned to the text style, or just an interface item ("Show snapping candidates"). Unfortunately you don't show your entire screen with panels and Context Toolbar and the object selected in the Layers panel … which would indicate more clear what you have setup.

GarryP Posted February 2 Share Posted February 2 Check the Stroke Colour to see if that is set to red. Note: Full-screen screenshots are much better for problem diagnosis. Note: There are three Affinity applications; telling us which one you are using will help to get you quicker answers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It always helps to name and know the Affinity app (APh, ADe, APub) and OS your are concrete using. Also a full app window screenshot which shows possibly selected top button options, like enabled Snapping (for snapping candidates) in this case. So my guess is, it's probably also for your text due to enabled snapping candidates, see therefor also ... Further a simple websearch on/for the forum contents after ... red line around site:forum.affinity.serif.com ... will show you similar question threads with possible solution answers.
