In the editor view (not code view) there is a blue banner that sits above the current line. (This is the banner that has the trashcan, among other items.) This is very distracting. Is there a way to hide this?

Thanks,  
Don C.

Hi @dculp,  
Just unselect the “Selected element menu” from the visual helpers menu.

RobM – The documentation (below) says that this should work but nothing happened when I tried.

Pinegrow 6.3 (trial)

Maybe try refreshing the project? It is the circular arrow icon a few to the right of the helper menu. Here is what my version shows when I have it unchecked. Other option - save and restart Pinegrow.

RobM – Refreshing didn’t work. Quit and restart → Now the toggle of “Selected element menu” works correctly.  
Thanks.
