enter image description here Anyone know what is happening and what can I press to get back to the default display? So far all I can do to stop this is appending the object onto a new file.

  • $\begingroup$ Can you upload a simplified copy of the file with problem part ? I don't think this can be caused by hiding geometry - if it hides faces it hides edges as well. If screenshot on the right shows only one object (and nothing beneath) then likely it's a bug, like here $\endgroup$

While I'm not sure what key you're hitting to get that view (perhaps Z?) it looks like maybe your normals are not consistent. In edit mode, hit Ctrl+N to recalculate the normals so all the faces are oriented correctly.
