You can set the "SelectionHighlight" property of the figure or axes to "off" in order to hide the selection highlighting.  Here is an example:
figure
surf(peaks)
set(gcf,'SelectionHighlight','off')
set(gca,'SelectionHighlight','off')
plotedit
 
If you would like, you can further switch the default selection highlighting properties to "off" for figures and/or axes:
set(0,'DefaultFigureSelectionHighlight','off')
set(0,'DefaultAxesSelectionHighlight','off')
To have this persist between MATLAB sessions, you can place this in a "startup.m" file. 
For more information about using a "startup.m" file, please run the following command on MATLAB R2018a:
