Gray Trails

About when I was finished with a score, something strange appeared that I never seen before.
Every note is followed by a gray trail, indicating the duration of the note. I dont need that info as I obviously use rests and correct note duration.
Now that the gray trails are present I cannot move a note on the stave! It is completely locked.
Anyone know how to remove these gray trails and get it back to where I can edit notes already entered. I have no clue how I wound up activating it.
I attach an image of what it looks like.
Thanks
