Decorations block appearing in or beside text frame

[jrkay]

If I open a text frame and pull down the style heading from the text bar, certain styles create a decorations box on the page. Yet when I go to the blue layer that appears for this style I can find no entry for Decorations when I look at edit style dialogue. How can this have happened?

Those boxes come from View > Show Text Flow, I think, rather than something associated with the text style.

Thanks again Walt, I copied in filler text and flowed it to the second and third frame. When I went to the Normal style which was shown as blue in the panel and chose Edit I found Decorations ticked. I removed it and the boxes went away. This option seems a little intrusive, I've had it appear unbidden on many occasions,

Incidentally thanks for all the many times you've helped me out over Publisher. Sometimes a heavy experience with PagePlus doesn't always help to understand the basic structure, it seems that many Affinity users have built up a better undersdtanding with their knowledge of Affinity  Design.

It's as if you'd saved the default settings when a paragraph decoration was enabled in the paragraph panel and that has been retained
