In my opinion this adds a fair bit of new complexity to the composer, and the marginal benefit of slightly less translated text – since we already have that text area reserved at the bottom – is not worth it.

It’s arguably a worse UI, since the words are fairly clear and help identify the floating area on the right. Take that away and you make the UI less clear. What _is_ that area on the right?

In summary, I would be quite opposed to this change.
