Hi everyone!

Could someone please tell me what this is and how I can turn off this annoying red square? I guess it's some kind of AI tool or AI tip that's ruining my scrolling and navigation in my Illustrator file.

You can turn the generative print bleed option off in Preferences.

Hi @iwc_9441,

The expert is correct. You can disable it by going to Edit > Preferences > General and unchecking the option for Show print bleed generative AI button on bleed.

Give that a try and let me know if the red square is gone.

I have it disabled, but still see the red box (minus the AI tag). I need this gone.

Hello @marci_4474

I’m sorry to hear you’re having similar trouble with Illustrator. Would you mind trying to reset Illustrator's preferences as described in this article (https://helpx.adobe.com/illustrator/kb/troubleshoot-preference-issues.html) and then turning off the option to see if it helps?

Disclaimer: Please note that renaming preferences folders will remove all the custom settings, and Illustrator will launch with default settings. You can also save a backup of the folders in case you want to. The location is mentioned above.

Looking forward to hearing from you.
