<p>Dear Nyall,</p>
<p>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?</p>
<p>Thanks again,</p>
<p>Anna<br>

<p>Hey community,</p>
<p
style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;margin-left:0px;margin-right:0px;text-indent:0px">I
use 3.4.3-Madeira on a Ubuntu 18.04.1 LTS.
</p>
<p>I was modifying labels on a map when several
rectangles appeared around and next to the labels. I
ignored them first cuz I was busy working on making a
label appear again I had hidden before and thought the
display of boxes belonged to one of the labeling tools
I was working with. When I had arranged my issue, I
intended to deactivate the rectangles that had
appeared around all labels of all layers, assuming
that I had somehow somewhere clicked on a special view
option. However, until now I was not able to figure
out what those boxes are, how I had made them appear
in first place and how to get rid of them again.</p>
<p>They also show up in the print layout and on the
exported pdf. When I click on "new map view", though,
they are not shown in the new view. Deactivating
labels and reactivating them did not change anything.
Moreover, it is something that applies to all layers,
so modifying a specific layer's label options should
not bring any solution.</p>

<div dir="auto">From the label setting for one of your layers,
look for the little button in the top right which has a
blue/yellow four arrow symbol. Click that, and then uncheck
"draw label candidates"</div>
