[Qgis-user] resolved QGIS 3 - Deactivate "boxes" around labels

[Anna Hujber]

Dear Nyall,

thanks for the fast and easy help. There was no "draw label candidates" 
option in that tab u described (named "Automated Placement Engine") but 
I clicked on "Restore Defaults" which deactivated an option called "show 
candidates (for debugging)" and resolved my problem. Maybe the "draw 
label candidates" option has been renamed?

Thanks again,

Anna
