You've got a lot drawn, so you are looking for a fix for that as well as
new objects added to the layout.   Try reading to find the flag definition for
"clear polygons" and change it in the .pcb file for each object that overlaps a polygon
area.    It's hard to tell in the .pcb file what overlaps what though....  This approach
might help if changing ALL of the flags in the darawing is beneficial.

Another way to operate on lots of objects at once is select them, then use an action
command that affects selected set.  That's using the PCB GUI some, then an action command
on the selected set.

Gotta go now -- others may have more help, (more direct recent experience), for your problem.
