Cap 2017, new icon, want to remove action

Hello -

I have Captivate 2017, and I have found a new icon that I don't recognize.  It is a small light blue square with small lines and an arrow pointing to the top right hand corner.  It shows up only in Preview, and when clicked it makes the text on screen come up on a different background.  I understand it to be some sort of way for the text to be larger and/or more contrast, however I would like to remove it for my project.  How can I remove this action?

Thank you

    Are you talking about a responsive project, created with Fluid Boxes? In that case it is the Expand Text button which appears when the text doesn't fit anymore in the text container.

    Doesn't sound right - the text all fits in the text container.

    I am bit worried, because if this is a normal project, and that icon appears, it looks like the file is getting corrupted. Hope I'm worng, it was the reason I wanted to be sure about the status of the file.


    That icon appears whenever text is perceived by captivate to not fit in the text box.

    I have found it most often appearing whenever a blank line follows the input text (and as such the user doesn't notice that the text extends beyond the height of the textbox.) It is also more common in IE as that browser has an unfortunate habit of presenting the text with padding inconsistent with what captivate shows (and as such the text falls onto new lines).

    Essentially it will go away as long as you give the box slightly more space after the last line than you would expect and make sure that there are no random empty lines.
