Even though it is turned off, I cant get rid of the red frame. Other windows are behaving normally. I have closed and reopened the program with no effect.

thanks

I believe this has been fixed in a recent Slicer Preview release as of:

> <https://github.com/Slicer/Slicer/pull/8684>
>
> When loading certain scenes (e.g., created by Slicer-5.6) slice edge frames coul…d not be hidden in 3D views.
> This was cause by multiple slice edge representations were added to the renderer due to a logic error in vtkMRMLThreeDSliceEdgeDisplayableManager.
> 
> Fixes issues reported here:
> https://discourse.slicer.org/t/hide-slice-rectangles-in-3d-view/42912
> https://discourse.slicer.org/t/annoying-frame-after-slice-view-on-3d/44247
> 
> Also added a minor fix of the vtkMRMLViewNode API that I discovered while investigating this issue. It is not directly related to the fix, just included in this pull request because it is so small change that I did not want to add another pull request for it.

Download the latest Slicer preview and let us know how it goes.
