You mean deleting preferences by holding down command-option? Yes, I think it goes way back, perhaps to 10.3. I will try to find out.
EDIT: yes, this works since 10.3, according to this support document:

Sorry for failing to properly deliver the screen shot. Also the FCP version is 10.4.6. I checked with the on-line manual again, and the only colored line on the bottom of a clip's browser thumbnail is an orange one (to show that the clip is already being used in the timeline). The blue line above shows that the clip was defined (and called up) by a key word.
The blue line I'm worried about is at the bottom of the viewer, covering up the bottom of the clip's video. Fortunately, this only happens when playing back abrowser. It does not interfere with playback from the timeline.
Sorry, again to start you guys off with some confusion.
Please use the Add Image button at the bottom of the reply box to add the picture.
The blue line at the top in the browser means a keywords section not duplicate frame. There’s no duplicate frame indicator in the current FCP.

Just the regular viewer and empty space on the RH (where the Inspector would appear). No multi-cam or comparison.
(Apparently I can't answer questions from two separate post in one reply.) Trashing prefs is usually a good solution. However I couldn't find them, not in User>Library>Preferences or ApplicationSupport>FCP. Worse come to worse, I can trashing the entire app (saving the libraries) and reinstall from the App Store

Trashing the preferences is a simple task:
To delete preferences, hold down command and option while starting FCP X and click Delete Preferences.
The application will start in a default state, and open an "Untitled" library. Reopen the library you were working on, set the preferences the way you like them, and try again.
I’ll check. I have a system that goes back to then.
Please post screenshots of what you’re seeing where.
Some of the clips also have the blue above (for duplicate clip), but they all have the blue line under.
Thanks for looking at this.
“FCP 4.6, OS10.13”
Are you sure?

I don't think I've ever seen that. Did you try trashing your preferences?
Did that work in 10.4.6? I wasn’t sure.
(I wasn't thinking of the prefs inside the app.) YES! my headache's gone. (…and library reopened).
Thanks Luis, for solving my problem.
