When one of the 4.0+ updates came out, one of the feature that was removed was the one you’re talking about. Are you saying that’s back in your site in a recent update?
Yes, it was in this latest update. I really don’t like it at all.

Try deactivating your plugins to explore whether any could be responsible
I believe he is talking about disabling the new feature ‘WP Link Preview’
This is the inline popup of the underlying link in the wordpress editor
I too would also like to know the best way to disable this
Here’s a hack you can put in your functions.php file to get rid of them:
// remove wp link preview
add_action('admin_head','remove_wp_link_preview');
function remove_wp_link_preview() {
echo "<style>.mce-inline-toolbar-grp { display: none !important; }</style>";
}
They should really add a control for disabling this feature, the inline popup covers up text making it difficult to click around and see/make changes in the editor
Thank you. I will have my tech support person put it in. I am not sure how to do it myself. It should be a 2 minute fix. Thanks so much.
