wonder why it makes a difference for me? Shame it isn't a proper fix. Worth a try anyway.
It did the same for me, too. I'm on a PC, using Chrome, and after ticking / saving the option to display menus dynamically, the speech bubbles no longer appear on mouse-over, but the menus automatically drop down on things like 'board options', and I also have fewer options for editing posts as well, oddly, with some showing as text links rather than icons.
Problem is, I get no pop-ups when I click on any of the icons like smilies and insert image, they load on the page underneath everything else, and if I click font size...
Just scroll down either side.
They only come up if you scroll/move over the topics,

they cannot be disabled.
Thankyou for trying!! even it it isn't what some of us want to read at this point. But hey those chappies are quite dry, had a bit of a chuckle.

it won't be meant to disable the bubbles. Or corrupt the icon links.
I know, I was more posting because the option disabled the bubbles for me as well, even though we're using two different kinds of devices to access the forums.... My post editing options haven't gone back to normal after unticking it, either...
