TB 139.01 Stop the Blue Dots

Hello,

I run TB 139.01 under Windows 11/64...

About a week ago, I started to see "Blue Dots" appearing to the left of each paragraph in my messages. In the hope of removing those dots, I've tried all of the suggestions I can find, but they still appear.

Might you suggest a method that will prevent the dreaded Blue Dots from appearing?

Sincere thanks, Lothar

(P.S. I have a large mallet at the ready...)

This sound like something coming from an add-on or Theme. What happens when you are in Help > Troubleshoot Mode? If the problem has gone, what add-ons to you have installed?
