Turning off crop suggestions in Elements

Question

It appears that crop suggestions cannot be completely eliminated from the window in Photoshop Elements versions after 13. I absolutely hate this feature as every time my cursor passes over them, if the crop I have created has horizon straightening included, it goes away. I have to cancel and start over. It would be easier to live with if the click box for the crop did not relocate to a position close to the crop suggestions since accepting the final crop is when I accidentally pass over the crop suggestions. I am an event photographer (drag racing) and typically process around 500 images at a time, so speed is everything to me. Accidentally passing over the crop suggestions is a horrible time waster. I can't imagine anyone actually using the crop suggestions, so why can't they be removed from the screen? If there is a way, please let me know how.

I know exactly what you're talking about. I'm a digital scrapbook designer so I do a lot of extractions and cropping. Crop suggestions interrupts my workflow tremendously! I don't have the option anywhere in my settings to disable it so I contacted Adobe about it and was told that it was built into the program and could not be disabled. My poor old PSE9 has about had it so I bought Elements 2013 and I hate it. I only use it for making backgrounds because of the time consuming crop suggestions. I need to buy another Elements program but afraid I'll spend all that money just to get another program with the same annoyance.
