Hi, @codinghorror and @nexo,

Apologies for the lateness of my reply.

Here is an example of the ‘Preview’ pop-up. I never use it, and always have to manually close it down, and I wondered if I could get rid of it permanently? It also pops up on my mobile device and makes it incredibly awkward to post anything. I have asked across my group if anyone else has issues with mobile, and nobody does, so maybe it’s my phone (Huawei)?
