Make sure You Display device driver and system software are up to date and you do not have use Legacy Compositing performance section checked. Reset all Photoshop Tools.

 

Make sure your move tool option bar is not set to show Transform controls.

 

If this does not fix your issue try resetting your Photoshop.  Extras should not be part of your image and the should be able to be hidden and set not to be displayed. Are you using a PC or Mac?

OK, I haven't seen yet a keyboard with a layout like that, sorry…

It looks like numbers are only accessable in conjunction with the Shift-Key, right?

Nevertheless, what is the corresponding menu command in Photoshop?

 

And as I said: "Show Extras" is not permanent, but "Show > Nohting" is…

This has really become very annoying in recent versions of photoshop: the blue extras outlines appear by themselves even after I switch them off (Ctrl+H). For this reason I uninstalled beta (white) photoshop and used version 25.6, but after the update these annoying blue extra lines appeared in it too.
Where is Legacy Compositing performance section in Photoshop 25.7.0 ?
I've been working in photoshop since 2000 and I don't remember such annoying stuff. Now we are advised to update the driver, reset the settings. Are you seriously?

I think I've figured it out. I would have deleted my previous post, but I can't seem to do that.
However, in previous versions, «Show Transform Controls» did not switch on by itself, and there was no problem with it.
I didn't intentionally switch it on.

In the latest version, the show transform tool Adobe seems to have moved the checkbox to here.  See image

This worked for me, the other stuff didnt. Thank you reddit. I have no ideal why this is an issue years later. For me, I was only getting spammed with Extras every time I did control-T with my wacom tablet.

Indeed this is SOOOO ANNOYING, I'm dealing with this thing for months now.

As I don't want to die from an epileptic crisis I finally searched a solution online and landed here.
The only trick that seems to work so far for me is:

_ View > Show > Show Extra Options ... > Untick everything

 

I spoke too soon. It looks like, no matter what, View > Extras always comes back on!
Does anyone knows how to PERMANENTLY disable this useless 'Extras' and annoying option without constantly pressing Ctrl+H each time it's activated again?

Finally I read another thread, and this worked for me: I unticked all options on the Move tool:

With Move tool selected, click on the little cog icon and make sure you untick these options: 'show layer bound on hover' and 'show hover bound from layers'

I'm having this issue, everytime I use command to select an object on a layer extras turn back on and I have to turn them it off again - driving me insane! I've tried everything suggested in this thread but everytime I 'command click' on a layer it's back on again!
