Toggle border & title block visibility

[Senthil Seveelavanan]

Would be great to be able to turn off the 'border' and the 'title block'. Currently it is slightly annoying as it gets in the way when drawing tracks.

This is now possible in PcbNew but still not supported in Eeschema

I'm going to close this as the original report was for PcbNew, and Eeschema will get it when it migrates to a GAL canvas.

[Nick Østergaard (nickoe)]

I don't get it. It sounds like there are some confusion here.

The page limit is not the same as the title block and related border, this is controlled by the work sheet template and is not toggle-able.

The "Show page limits" has no effect in GAL canvases, it keeps showing.

I would rather consider this bug as invalid if we are to ignore it. This bug talks about two different things.

The "Show page limits" issue is tracked here: https://bugs.launchpad.net/kicad/+bug/1499285 (and is fixed in my 5.1 tree).

The "border" referred to in this bug is the double red line border that goes with the title block (and can be turned on and off via the Items list in the Layers palette).
