Blue shadow Clipping not going away

When i opened up lightroom (2020) today i noticed that the shadow clipping (blue dots) was on. I tried to turn it off by clicking the triangle in the histogram, but it did not work. I have never expereinced this before. Has anyone experienced this and know how to turn this off? is it a glitch in lightroom? Please help!

i called Apple Support and my LCD display was on a differeent profile. I calibrated my monitor using Color Munki yesterday and apparently it was the new profile i created that caused the problem. When i changed it back to the regular LCD setting it went away. So the problem has been resloved. I am just not sure why the calibration process caused this to occur.

I had the same today and worked out this was happening after I used the "Enhance Portrait" preset. 

 

Adobe support suggested I Optimize my catalog. I have done that now and it looks like the problem is solved.

It's not solved. It worked for a while but came back.

@StephenC Photography  You have posted to an old forum thread. Repost with far more details of your system and screen-clips of the problem.

Old Macs have been encountering this problem (similar to, but not the same, as Clipping indicators.)-

If not a laptop, can you attach a different monitor and see if it behaves

 

Both these inquiry's are about display issues (the display not the GPU)

Is this  MAC a laptop? And do you have an external monitor  to connect to it?

 

If so, does this all behave the same  on both the LCD and the external monitor?

Whenever the cursor is over one of those icons it will show you either the Clipping, underexposed, or over exposed areas. So if you had it turned on then turned it off and did NOT move the cursor off the triangle icon the blue clipped areas will still be visible.

When On the square around that icon will be Whiter, brighter, and when of but with cursor over one of them it will be graywhite, not as bright.

Please show us a screen shot of what you are seeing. Maybe it's actually blue in your image.
