info window popping up where i don't want it

[mariootsa]

every time i try to draw a marquee or draw a shape in ps6, a small info box appears next to my curser. it is incredibly distracting, and i cannot figure out how to get rid of it. please help!!

Can you post a screen shot of it ?

Here it is. I don't know if I did something to bring this up, because I don't remember it showing up before. Even if I move something in photoshop, it insists on popping up. ARGHH!!

Seems like coordinates, I think it can be switched off.

 

[mariootsa]

Where??!!

 

[mariootsa]

It's not just coordinates. It's any kind of info regarding what I am doing. If I draw a marquee, it gives me dimensions...I really need to get rid of this thing.

I see what you describe, but I cannot find a way to switch it off. To be honest I kinda like it, since it shows me dimensions of selected object, but I understand it can be annoying too.

Aaaahhhh!! It is nice once in a while, but not ALL THE TIME. I don't even know what this is called to know where to look. If I search 'info panel', it just brings up information on the main info panel, not this. I hope someone can help me!

I also tried a lot but no luck.

Can anyone else out there help me?? Should I just try to reset photoshop?

I just found out it is a new feature in PS6 called visual feedback. Does anyone know how to turn it on and off??
