Zone Boundary Black Dots

Can someone explain why black dots appear on some manually placed zones?

They seem to appear when the zone boundaries are colinear with walls.

What are they and how do I turn off this feature?

Thank you.

I work with zones quite a bit, but have not experienced this display.  Black dots are often are associated with invisible, missing, or remote objects or components.  The black dots appear to be outside the zone (purple nodes) and your zone label appears normal.  It could be your zone stamp is an issue, but you would normally see a center node for that.  Perhaps there is another element or object involving itself with the zone?  Alternately, could it be a display issue?
