Problem with prop recognition in hammer

[ButteredSideDown]

I have this issue where if i don't get close enough to an entity or a prop, it gets replaced with a big colourful box covering it. This makes it incredibly hard to make out which of my props and entities are which, plus it makes it difficult to pick out props that i need for my map.

There is a slider bar that sets the distance of models viewed at a distance, set in Tools > Options > 3D views.

EDIT: oh haha I thought this was only one post. The images all blended together.
