On opening IND CC 2017 this morning, I have noticed a blue  Open Type symbol has started to appear at the bottom of the text boxes in my InDesign files.

How do I stop this, as not sure why I need it to appear

    Thanks. Also driving me crazy. Adobe needs to stop changing the UI every update.

    Moved out of the Forum Lounge (no technical support is available there) and to the InDesign forum
