Cropping tool acts strangely

Hi guys,

When I press R in Lightroom now, several angled lines lines appear and the window is harder to resize, move around or navigate.

What is this and how to fix it?

Thans a lot.

You can choose your preferred format from the 'Crop Guide Overlay' menu. I've attached a screenshot showing where you'll find the relavant sub menu.

"several angled lines lines appear"- So i will have a guess that you have the overlay guides (for Compositional suggestions) turned on.

Keyboard [ O ] Ohhh will toggle through the various overlays.

Keyboard [ H ] will hide or show the overlay lines.
