Thanks John,
What ended up solving the problem for me was drawing a square somewhere
else on the board. I then hovered over my newly drawn square, I pressed
the key S to make it fill in, then I moved the square where I wanted it to
be... Took me a long time to figure it out, not sure if there is a better
way, but at least it works for me that way.
