How to avoid fixing extracted methods code snippet at top or bottom of Android Studio

Question

After updating Android Studio to Arctic Fox | 2020.3.1 version, The IDE fixes extracted methods code snippet at top or bottom of screen depending on scrolling direction. As you can see in the image below, it's annoying because it fills a large part of screen.

Is there any way to avoid showing extracted methods code snippet?

Thank you for posting this question. It is worse in my case. It can be at the top, bottom, or middle. If can block some other functions such as search. I have to restart AS to fix this. I hope Google will fix this ASAP because method extraction is used frequently. It is a major nuisance. – Peak

t is displayed on random locations. Especially after switching tab. Whenever i extract method, I have to restart IDE :/ – Conjectural

There is a bug report for this issue in the Android Studio issue tracker: issuetracker.google.com/issues/213134273 It seems like they closed it due to not enough information to reproduce. So i added a "how to reproduce" description, a screen recording and a link to this question. Hope they reopen the issue report and fix it. – Ethelynethene

I found an answer here. it fixes the bug at the expense of having popup windows appear whenever you want to refactor something. i should have stayed on 4.2 XD
