I don't know if this is the same thing you are talking about but this is what I have. I have ALWAYS had this problem. I was actually too embarassed to say something because I thought I wasn't smart enough to figure out how to turn it off, so I was trying to figure out what to do myself. :)

This is a brand new scene, no saving at all . I selected that chain object that comes with vue. As you can see, no animation, timeline or anthing. The object had those lines with it when I placed it. I showed the menu so you all can use the same object and maybe you can see it for yourself. :)

Although this maybe a different problem and easily fixable. :)
