Hello,
I noticed recent version started to show small popup “Comment” each time something is selected. It is extremely annoying. How can I disable it completely, please?
Thanks

Hi @httzipdev @aberka.
Inline comments isn’t a bug but a feature that is intended to help you collaborate in Postman better and share feedbacks or leave comments on specific components in your Postman Workbench, this includes your pre-request and post-response scripts.
There currently isn’t a way to disable this feature.
I often present (screensharing), show requests and explain what’s this and that. It’s really annoying when this pops out (and hides stuff behind) each time I select something. Please add a way to disable it, this is not normal.

Please give us a way to disable it. This throws off my flow everytime I’m trying to work. I have to disable a prompt EVERY TIME I highlight something. It’s absolutely not appreciated.

Hello,
I am writing to let you know that this feature is also being problematic for me. Many times I have to copy strings from Postman and this popup appears before I’ve selected the whole line making it impossible to finish the selection.
It would be very helpful to have the option to disable it.
Thanks for taking our feedback into account.
Regards,

It’s things like this that make me avoid using postman at all costs-- forcing things on users and not providing a way for them to opt out. This is the main reason that I no longer accept any of the app updates.

Hey @aharwood215
Appreciate the comment here, as @gbadebo-bello mentioned in the thread - were looking at this interaction to better deliver the experience to the users.
This is a stupid feature and so annoying. Who was the genius who thought it’s a good idea to cover up part of the text that you are searching for EVERY bloody time you search for something?

Inline comments is absolutely a bug, not a feature. Large enterprise user here, never heard of anyone using Inline Comments. I hear a lot of complaints.
The bug is that “COMMENT” automatically appears after selecting text. “COMMENT” appears in a random location, often blocking the cursor or obscuring the text being edited. This bug makes the text editor in Postman significantly more difficult to edit text.
Selecting text is one of the most sacred operations in a text editor, This is clearly a bug. The bug is that editing text is more difficult because of Inline Comments.

Can you please fix this now? I am editing XML, trying to select 4 numbers – 6999 and replace it with 7000. The “COMMENT” box pops up over 699 and I am left unable to use the text editor.
Danny, this is a huge problem, I am having to edit XML in VS Code and copy and paste it back into Postman.

Inline comments breaks Search And Replace in the Postman text editor. When searching for text in XML, the COMMENT button obscures the text being searched for.
Postman is a broken text editor. Postman text editor is unfit for basic text editing operations. Are you just going to leave it broken?

Please remove this BUG immediately. And while you’re at it, get rid of the auto-complete on the Request dropdown that changes the request when using the Tab key. Every month it’s a new “Hey look what we broke” instead of just leaving things alone.
Moving to Talend API Tester, can’t wait until our dept officially switches.

Same here, its so much annoying.
Hi, want to add to the hate of this BUG/feature, so annoying, how is this not removed from psotman yet? 
I’ll be honest, I’m forced to use postman at work, (I prefer other solutions), and postman is so-so to use, but this thing appearing every time I want to select something, breaks the flow, I don’t think this was well UX tested.
There should be the option to turn this thing on/off
Also, it would be vastly better if the Comment popup was shown to the left of the line that’s selected, instead of on top of the current text.
This “feature” is currently obstructing my work. The popup shows as I’m selecting text and I can’t see what I’m selecting.
The same problem with copying, ha-ha. I hope this ux feedback will change something.
