Tagging in @tobiaseigen because we started this conversation outside of Meta.

This was Tobias’s initial response

> I did not realize that it does not go away by itself because I always immediately use the X to close it. If people do not realize it can be closed and don’t close it, then indeed the composer functionality is going to be super confusing and hard to use. If you could add a reply to [How to disable the yellow panels for first two posts?](https://meta.discourse.org/t/how-to-disable-the-yellow-panels-for-first-two-posts/113572) with this feedback, we can work on improving it. One thought I have is to have a close button on the popup, and to disallow typing until it is selected? Or to close it automatically after a little while?

What are your ideas?
