AW: IB's TWS and new drop down windows function

You can also trade from a front-end connected to IB TWS

This would solve this matter, but I guess a bit impractical if you follow
multiple positions...

Betreff: Fw: IB's TWS and new drop down windows function

Is any body else experiencing the following.

 My TWS now has drop down explanatory windows that open whenever my mouse 
pointer hits bid size, bid price, ask size, ask price, etc.  I find these 
windows very distracting and annoying.  After contacting tech support I was 
informed that there is no way to disable this new function. This new 
function might be of some help to someone on their very first day of trading

but when you have been waiting for an hour to cover on a position and then 
just as you are moving your mouse to transmit your trade a window pops open 
blocking the bid and ask prices.  It's a distracting factor at exactly the 
wrong time.  This is especially true when the TWS is made to be as small as 
possible on a single monitor trading operation.

So I sent this message to IB.
