Just happened to me too, I accidentally activated it while trying to use a keyboard shortcut to save my project file.

Instead of pressing CTRL+SHIFT+S, I instead pressed CTR+SHIFT+D.

And I just needed to press it again and the issue is gone.

Alternatively, you can navigate to View>Show Transparency Grid.

That's all guys,

Good day 😉

Pressing Cmd + 0 should fix it.

You're talking about the WHITE area, correct? And it's bigger than you hoped? Did you want it to crop much closer to your calligraphy artwork that's seen at center? Is it possible that there was a different unit of measure being applied than what you thought you were using? Recheck your numbers a nd be sure to note whether it is inches, mm, cm, etc.

Hope that helps
