When working with large charts containing many elements, this contextual popup became so annoying that I disabled it by adding "lucid.app##body lucid-editor-gui-right-column" and “lucid.app##.right-column-spacer” to my ad blocker filter list.

Hopefully, the toggle for enabling/disabling this functionality in the standard way will be implemented.

UPD: updated filters - forgot about the spacer.
