i found the reason for the issue! following your lead i lookedin more detail at a sample dimension that did generate the large box and what i found is this:

i have been tinkering with the dimensions properties dialogue - there are three boxes in which the dim text can be entered and tonight i had accidentally copied the dim text into the second box


which results in some differently sized text - see dim sample below where i entered text (by mistake) into 2 boxes resulting in the following text:

here is the same image zoomed out until the large unwanted box is visible - the smaller text is the problem item - see how the corner of the large box lines up with the smaller text ?(its higher up)

clearing the lower right hand Dimension Label box as follows fixed the issue!

 I'll check a couple more to see if that is consistent.

Yep it is consistent - adding text to either the lower rhs entry box or the upper rhs entry box result in the large unwanted box.  clearing text from these clears the issue! adding text to the LHS entry box does not result in a large unwanted box.
