Red grid suddenly appeared on the "crop" filter

I have been using Avidemux for several years on at least 6 systems (including setting it up for friends) and haven't seen this before.  I haven't found it in the index.

When I use filters, normally a screen comes up which shows the video, and various other pieces of information.  The video image used to always look the same as the main screen.

A day ago, the screen for the crop filter changed: it now has a red cross-hatch and red borders, which makes it much harder to see how to crop an image.  It appears to have changed only for the crop filter, the other filters still look fine.  I can't find any setting changes that could have caused this, and have not made any changes to my preferences.  The only changes to the system (Windows 10 22H2) are Microsoft defender security updates, and I don't think I even did that between the times the display was normal and when it showed red.  I did not install or remove any other programs during this time.

The only other thing that happened was that Avidmux crashed.  This appears to have been caused by a WMV video that was corrupted or improperly encoded.  I'm running 2.8.1

Does anyone know why this happened, and how I can remove it and get the 'normal' screen display back?

Thanks in advance.

In the Crop filter check the "Hide Rubber Band".

I'm a little embarrased that I never saw that before, but thanks very much for pointing it out to me.  At least your post will be here in the future in case this happens to someone else.
