Tooltip showing in formula bar regarding the formula I just typed in

This started happening last week - when I am in the formula bar to type something, and notice that I need to go up/down to update something, it does not work anymore if I've started on a formula, as there is a tooltip/formula helper which appears, and using up/down only scrolls through the tooltip instead of moving. The formula helper stays put until I either:

1. Click somewhere in the formula bar

2. Close the entire formula by itself

 

This is really annoying to me, especially when I need to move two/three lines up, which should've been done in less than a second, but now uses multiple seconds as I try first, notice it does not work, move my hand to the mouse, click somewhere else on the formula, and then I can finally move my keyboard indicator, but if I start a new formula, it happens again.

Would anyone know how to disable it?

    The tipp given here simply just doesn't work anymore because that option is not shown in the settings any longer. This "feature" is the most anoying and unneccssary thing in Power Apps ever seen, it drives me mad and makes me simply SICK,

    Hi @AlexTheKidd ,

     

    Please try and switch off the Power Fx formula bar option:

    And another new thing that appeared: when I click comma (for anything in the formula bar), it wants to autosuggest what I want to type next, but it's alphabetical. When I click comma, I want to keep my code clean and add the information to a new line, so I click enter, and what do you know: it automatically adds the word, which I'll have to delete in order to add the code I actually want. These new changes to PowerApps is really annoying for someone who's been working with the tool for the past years...
