kicadpcb-design
I was editing a PCB and KiCAD crashed. When I restarted all fields that were previously invisible are now showing, even though their property is set to invisible.
Is this a bug? Or an option I can toggle somewhere. Like "Hide/show all hidden fields."
Opening other older PCBs is the same thing. fields set to invisible still show.
You can add your own variable in the Preferences->Configure Paths...
You might need to restart KiCad for the variable to be seen by other KiCad editors.
Then edit your footprint module and in 3D Settings add your custom wrl. Once added the absolute path will be replaced with the above defined path variable.
I'm running KiCad v5.0.0.
Looks more like an courtyard outline on the wrong layer - in your setup the faint grey lines are the courtyard (some footprints don't have them, depending on your source and the age of the library you use, or if they are entirely DIY). For that device the designer might have accidentally put the courtyard onto the same layer as the value of the part. It's hard to tell as we can't see your layer color choices.
PS: I know this is nearly 24 months old, but it comes up as unanswered.

Check to make sure that your "Hidden Text" item is deselected
