In the attached picture the annoying hover info covers my file. I can't either do a right click or see the name. Only maximizing the window solves the issue, but can't do that cause I need the space for the rest of the windows.

Long story short... anyone knows how to get rid of these annoying hover infos?

    Very interesting issue. Sadly, there is no way to do this without compiling your own version or using a different file manager.

  • Is this something that changed recently? Don't recall seeing it before recent times.
