How do I inactivate pop-up upon hovering for the right-side panel windows in SDL Trados Studio 2019?


I never use these windows anyway, and even if I would it would still be very annoying when they pop-up if I happen to move the mouse cursor too far to the right.

The panel windows I refer to are these:

Notifications
Preview
Advanced Display Filter
Useful Tips

Just close them Aug 8, 2019

When they appear, or when you click on them, just close them from the small X at the upper right corner. They should not appear any more. You can call them back from the View ribbon.

Just kept Useful Tips Aug 8, 2019

Thanks, that worked better. I kept Useful Tips only as it is not in the way furthest up in the window.

Thank you! Feb 4, 2022

Thank you, thank you, thank you! This was driving me crazy. I still don't understand why the developers thought it was a good idea to have those options pop up at the least hover, but now I'm free

Make hovering pop-ups clickable instead Sep 21, 2023

I have used Trados since the early days and the thing that has mostly annoyed me all these years (apart from being the only piece of software that frequently crashes in the 21st century) is hovering pop-ups. They appear not only if the cursor touches the right tabs but also the middle row with the match rate/confirmation icons. They cover the working space and slow down my work as they pop up each time I flick the mouse cursor away. Isn't there an option of making Trados pop-ups clickable instea... See more

Then one would not have to disable any tabs at all. The Preview and Advanced Display Filter tabs are great aids and I would never disable them. Just click instead of hover.Collapse
