Odd Particle Thing?

I'm noticing something different after I upgraded my Preview 1.4. When I was in the Preview and now in SL, everytime I'd click on an object or drop onto one, some kind of transparent blue or red thing floats from it. Like those things that come from the particle scripts, but these are blocked shaped? Is that supposed to happen? Is that some new thing?

If it's something I don't have to worry about, let me know at least what it's for. LOL I don't mind it so much, but it gets busy to see both bubbles and blue blocky things emerging from my tub.

Sorry if it's a dumb question. :o It's just I've only been a month here and that's the first time I've seen it. Thanks.

Never mind! I found out what was causing it and took it off. :D

I know you figured it out. But if anyone else sees this, what's happened is that you've turned "show updates" on in you debug menu (alt-shift-u)

this feature is useful sometime to find scripts that are "noisy". "noisy" scripts can contribute to lag.
