Those little blue boxes show the currently selected graphical object 
(just lik in MS Word). The funny thing is that I just
noticed today the blue box when I was capturing an image. 

You can unselect the object by going into the selection mode (the little 
arrow button) and just clicking somewhere in the
window. 

I will change the drawing control so that when its window is closed it 
will clear the selection.
