How to stop Pink area covering selection

This might not be a bug, but it's a big distracting nuisance to me.

Whenever I select anything in the newest Photoshop, the selection area in addition to the border line, gets covered by a pnk area. See the attached photo. If I move the mouse, the pink follows the area. I realize it probably serves a purpose, but it gets in the way of whatever I'm doing.

Is there a way to get rid of it or make it transparent?

@Birdwoman you're using the Object Selection tool, you can change the settings from the options bar

In the future please post proper screenshots

including the pertinent Panels (Toolbar, Layers, Options Bar, …).

Since the s-shot was just to show what my words were referring to, it hadn't occurred to me to include the toolbar, etc.

No problem; sometimes those Panels can provide meaningful clues about issues.

Thank you! I just started using the AI Photoshop version, and I didn't notice that toolbar option. I had looked thru the Settings menus.
