Comments.Text: That’s a weird one. I can’t see any way to hide those controls. Can you share a photo of your screen? Is it possible you’re not looking at the composition viewer, but a source viewer in the same location?

How do I get these button icons so I can toggle the wireframe section? I tried toggling all of the menu bar options but can't seem to find the right one.
