When you select a footprint there are lines from the anchor point of the footprint to each text item of that footprint. Otherwise it could be pretty difficult to find out which footprint each text item belongs to.

Thank you eelik.
But should the blue lines be visible even when the footprint is not selected ?

You mean all those blue lines all the time? That would render the board view unreadable.

Is it every footprint or just this one?
If it is just this one where did you get the footprint from? What layer are the blue lines associated with?
