Strange symbol appeared on Font cursor


Recommended Posts

I've suddenly gained this odd symbol when using both Artistic and Frame Text tools.

I've gone through all the character and paragraph options but can't see anything checked that would cause it.

Does anyone know what it is and how to get rid please?  It is still visible after deselecting the font tool.  It doesn't show up on exported files, but it's annoying and distracting.

The § is a section sign. Like the pilcrow ¶ (paragraph marker) and the mid dots for spaces between words, its visibility can be toggled on or off via the ‘Show Special Characters’ command on the Text menu.

That is the End of Story indicator. You can go to Text > Show Special Characters and uncheck that item.

I have never mastered color management, period, so I cannot help with that.
