Removing rulers in IDE

I've not bothered before using the Rulers and Grid options from the IDE View menu. Never needed, but enabled briefly just out of curiosity.
Now I find that unchecking the Rulers option does not seem to "stick" : Each time the stack is saved, the rulers reappear -- and even overlay the Dictionary window when that is opened. (No mention of the rulers in the Dictionary, no relevant setting in the Preferences, and even no previous mention of this issue that I could find in these forums.) Very annoying.
Is this a new bug in LC 9.6.8 or am I missing something?

RESOLVED: Sorry not to update here sooner, but I found that one must quit and reboot LC to reset the Rulers option. No big deal, but not entirely intuitive.

Sounds like a bug to me. Unchecking the Rulers menu item should remove them. You could report it here:

Certainly works over here: Mac OS 13, LC 9.6.3
