code editing: how to turn animated features off?

Hello, I'm using a new verion of DW (19.2.1),

up from an older version a few years back.

I'm trying to edit in split version (on code) and there's suddenly

a huge amount of animated stuff happening which I find extremely

annoying and distracting.   Can someone please tell me how to

turn it off?

This web-page has an auto-play music file (mp3) on it, which

is now playing in Dreamweaver.  It also has a slide-show animation

which is also playing. (this is all in split-screen).  When I try editing

the image file-names in the slideshow,  popup balloon with the actual

image appears, right at my cursor.  This is maddening when you are

trying to hand-code.

I tried in pref's to disable "show dialog when inserting objects".

This didn't do a thing.

Please help me find my way back to a clutter-free, distraction-free

view of code in split-view, so I can edit without all these annoying

distractions.

Thank you.
