Noticed and reproducible in Mixxx 2.2.4

Steps to reproduce:
If you open any Song in Mixxx, and then add a Beatloop, Reloop, or use the Loop In and Loop Out Markers, it adds markers on the Waveform of the Song in Mixxx - These Markers stay on the Waveform whenther or not it is active , or if you've turned it off.

I have noticed these when DJ'ing and set building ,from when I had bumped the Loop buttons and have the markers on my waveforms for a few songs even though I do not use this functionality on those songs.

You can bring up the song , and right click it in the list and loop through the reset options, but none of the things you can reset about a song will clear these markers on the waveforms displayed in Mixxx.

I recently remembered this when watching someone using Rekordbox, demonstrating they could clear loop markers on their Song Waveforms and I remembered this. I

This feature might be considered a nice to have- , but I would like the ability to perhaps right click, reset- Loop Markers added to the Reset menu. That seems to be the simplest way of handling this- if they can be removed. If loop markers are not able to be removed , would it be possible to develop an option give an option to clear a Music track of active and inactive loop markers on the Waveform, somehow?

Current stable release is 2.3.2. Does the problem persist with that release?
Personally do not recall resetting loop markers being a problem.

There is currently no (simple) way to remove the markers of the temporary* loop.
*2.4 will have saved loops
