How to remove the surrounding rectangle around the current line in Visual Studio?

Question

This is the image showing the rectangle around the current line

I can't figure out how to remove this persisting rectangle around the current line I am typing in. This is a feature of Visual Studio 2017 ( the one I am using now), of course - but I don't like it. Is there any way really remove this? Or am I out of luck
