Strange "thing" in layout tab. What is it?

(1/5) > >>

alanjt:
It happens once in a while and it doesn't screw up the drawing. It's just odd, and annoying.
Does anyone know what this is, or how to get rid of it?
If I zoom in/out, it stays in the same place.
I'm 99% sure I've only seen it in paperspace layouts, but I could be wrong.

Jeff_M:
I've seen this for years and have never figured out what it is, why it's there, or what triggers it to show up. It doesn't plot so I just ignore it now.

Rob...:
I've seen that before. I think it is text. Since you are asking, I'm assuming you cannot select it. Try Ctrl+A and then deselect everything else. That should leave the offending entity selected so you can find out what it is and delete it.

alanjt:
It's not text, and there's no way to select it.
If you zoom way out and regen, it will display in a different spot.
Graphically, it looks like something outside of cad.
I've always ignored it. I guess I just thought I'd finally take a moment to ask.

How do you know if you can't select it?

I'm pretty sure I've been able to select it. I am sure I've been able to get rid of it.

Can you post a file that has it?
