>Uhm, no. It just means that people are hovering over links with their mouse.

in my case every single time was by accident whilst moving the mouse around, off of other text I was trying to read.

Your inability to figure out how to disable it was already counted as success!

The popup has a little gear icon in the bottom right. You can disable it from there.

They put a small click button on the edge of a hover control? really?

[always_good]

I just tested it and it's trivial to click. Are you actually having difficulty or just pretending it's hard so you can be condescending?

I think the best place for these controls are usually on the feature itself. I don't want to have to search in some independent preferences UI every I want to see if something can be tweaked, but it makes sense to offer it there as well.
