Under Menu -> View -> Show Grid you can switch grid on/off. However, I could not find any way to remove the thick grid lines shown in the picture below.
- How do I hide them?
- Would be nice, if there was an item under Menu->View
File → Preferences → View Defaults → Page Breaks → Visible
You can also choose a more subtle colour if that’s what you want
Really I want to simplify the menu, not add additional items (which I’m not sure many would use)
That’s a point. I have no evidence, that adding this menu item would improve UX, so all I can validly say is:
Probably it would be enough for the user to find the setting (via Menu or google).
E.g. I (actually) expected it being page breaks. However, changing Preferences -> Diagram Defaults -> Paper type did not change the size of page breaks, so I expected it to be something different. Therefore, searching for a solution was difficult as well.
Indeed, I think the “Correct” solution here is improving how preferences/page setup is handled - the implementation certainly wants a cleanup 
In the nightly build the preferences dialogue is significantly less cramped but overall retains the same discoverability problems as before
Maybe programmatically difficult, but here two suggestions - apart from preferences dialog:
(1) Right-click on a page break line offers a menu item “hide page breaks”.
(2) Right-click on a free space within the diagram offers a menu item “Page breaks visible <□ / 
>”.
