Screen Shot Interference

I used screen shot to make copies of my texts. Now I can not get the blue-framed box to go away. When typing in Word, Excel and sometimes email, the blue box appears and the keyboard space bar creates havoc. It either won't space properly or it jumps the focus to another part of the document. How do I get rid of this blue box and its hold on my keyboard?

iMac 27″, macOS 13.4

Cannot edit text box in Photos I'm trying to edit text boxes made in Photos using MarkUp. I can do this immediately after creating a text box, but if I wait and go back to it later then I cannot edit it. When I return to MarkUp mode and click on the text box nothing happens, I just see a small icon that is possibly a paperclip (??) and the box seems to be "locked." I've searched by subject, and have also tried to find an explanation for the paper clip looking icon I see. I can't edit on either my MacBook or my iPad, but I only see the unknown icon on my iPad. I assume I've done something to "lock" the text box, but I have searched and tried everything I can think of to fix it, but have been unsuccessful. Please help if you can. Thank you! MacBook Pro M1 (2020) running Monterey 12.5.1

blue text on black background hard to read Am not sure how many places this crops up, but the default dark blue text (Settings > Display & Brightness > Appearance = 'Dark'; Brightness = 50%) on (dark) black background is very hard to read. (OK on Appearance = 'Light') e.g. in Messages: the text "< Filters" and the icons on the same screen - are almost indecipherable, depending on ambient lighting. This color combo seems the default in numerous places. what to do ? tia

Text cut off in Final Cut Pro Hi, this happens sometimes where I'll be using a title, and it will be hidden behind something. I attach an example of what I'm talking about: I guess there must be some other object blocking. This happens with titles within Final Cut, and also when I make a title or effect in Motion and import it in. There must be something that cuts off what I'm importing, I suppose. It's weird. Can anyone recommend steps I can take after this happens? Thanks so much! Katherine

Sounds like you have Full Keyboard Access enabled. Disable it in System Settings > Accessibility > Keyboard.
