While working on a board n PCBNew, red and yellow circles appeared around all the footprints.? Not sure how i did it nor can I remove them.? Can anyone tell me what they represent an how to get rid of them?

thanks, Peter

Sounds like the graphics memory has got confused.

Have you tried a redraw?

View -> redraw (or F3)

Switching the canvas may also clear this.

F3 didn't work but I tried flip board view as I didn't see switch canvas and that worked.

thanks Andy for the idea.

On my system (Linux) the canvas options are at the bottom of the view
menu

Glad the problem is sorted...
