When trying to add labels to a QGIS project, I had some strange formatting issues. I was following a tutuorial but I think now it was for an older version. I tried to create a label by opening the attribute table, creating a new feature, clicking the ABC string option, and typing the label on that feature. This produced a label but with a lot of other things on the map. QGIS map in which the label has strange boxes around it and other boxes have generated on the map
