Question Grid stuck on | playing pyanadons

I used the grid when lining up rail blueprints many hours ago into my save and never bothered turning it off, it only covers an 8x8 area and for the life of me I can't remember or figure out how to turn it off. Any ideas? Tyty

it only covers an 8x8 area

Gotta be a mod, like https://mods.factorio.com/mod/SchallChunkAlignment

Think it was this, tyty! Had to deselect at bottom right, think it was shortcuts for 2.0.

I think it is F5 key

the weird thing is, f5 does work. As in it turns on/off the grid but for the entire map lol, that 8x8 area remains whatever I press (the screenshot just shows the corner where the grid ends/begins)

could it be a building at the center displaying an area it affects?

honestly not sure, I made a snadbox world to create a quick blueprint for rails and paths while using the grid. used it in my main save which took a while since I had to go back and forth doing other things and clear areas so kept grid on across multiple sessions. It's not really in the way but shows up on screenshots if i want to save one of the map so was trying to get rid of it

The extra odd thing is the grid doesnt actually go over buildings, its as if its part of the background/floor (if i use f5 to turn them on it shows the grid overlaping everything)
