Search results for : How can I bypass, disable, or control the contextual task bar? It is unchecked in the Window menu, but it's still there for every edit. When I opt to pin the bar someplace out of the way, it returns to the annoying default position.

    I hope there’s an on-off switch for it in 2027.  Off meaning OFF.  I agree it is quite annoying.

    I just reread your original post.   when you uncheck it, restart the editor.
