What is this line? (and how do I get rid of it)


Recommended Posts

New to Affinity, so pardon the basic question, but I've searched the forum and googled this but can't find an answer. What is the dotted line surrounding the artboard pictured below? It popped up when I accidentally double-clicked on the artboard in the "Layers" panel while holding the CTRL key. Now I can't make it go away. I've tried deleting the artboard and restarting the program but the dotted line persists. Please help.

It's a selection marquee. Ctrl-clicking a layer thumbnail is a long-established way of selecting the non-transparent pixels on that layer.
