disturbing purple contour line

[cecHP]

Hi there,

I downloaded the last version of affinity a few days ago, on my Windows 11.

I noticed a purple contour line around every object, that lasts pretty much and is quite disturbong when working on Affinity designer v2.56.

I can't find anywhere how to remove it. I noticed on various tutorials, that it doesn't appear on their screen (mainly on Apple ones); Thought, I read on forums I'm not alone to undergo this inconvenience.

The only way I found to make them disappear is temporarly push the space bar.

Would you mind helping me? I guess there's a stting to do I haven't found so far...

Please, find attached a picture

Those purple lines are the Snapping Candidates.

To switch them off, press the Snapping button on the Toolbar and set Show Snapping Candidates to OFF.
