Blue dot Text wrap lock?

I cannot seem to turn off this version of text wrap for some reason.  I click on other options and that blue dot remains.  It's like it's locked.  I even copied text from other sections of the document and once I placed them on this page the text wrap happened even though it works perfectly on the other pages.  How do I turn off this little blue dot?

In case anyone else encounters this issue, you need to trash your InDesign preferences to stop the app from auto-enabling the text wrap feature to new picture boxes or pasted graphics you create in your documant layouts. 

I think we are all aware of how Adobe shows us new features with blue dots, blue banners, videos, etc., however that isn't the issue the user initially reported here.

It's misleading: Its merely an indicator that a new feature is available in InDesign 2021.

 

Once you use it, a popup will let you know a different way to wrap about objects - automatically selecting the subject. Then the blue dot disappear.
