Yes, that’s annoying. You can try the workaround here:

> Operating system: macOS 15.4.1 Slicer version: 5.8.1 Expected behavior: Old versions of 3DSlicer didn’t show these rectangles, they are in the way for illustration purposes Actual behavior: The “new” rectangles are shown all the time, I can’t find what option to select to hide them. I tried to click every option but I can’t find which is the one controlling its visibility. I know it has to be somewhere. Thanks for any tip.
@Davide_Punzo @lassoan is there an issue filed already about this? I think there’s a logic issue from this:

> \- Added user in…terface controls to control the visibility of slice edges.
> \- Implemented linking controls to synchronize the visibility of slice edges across different views.
