Auto-Hide On-Image Elements

Use this option to automatically hide elements that appear on top of the image whenever the mouse exits
the image window. Active selections, control points (that are not currently selected), watch points, and the
grid will automatically be hidden when the mouse cursor exits the image window to give you a clear view
of your image. These items will reappear when the mouse cursor returns into the image window. Turn this
option off to always see those on-image elements.
