    • Our product teams collect and evaluate feedback from a number of different sources. To learn more about how we use customer feedback in the planning process, check out our new feature policy.

      By default, when the users highlight any content while viewing a page in Confluence, the same will provide a pop up with options to add a new "inline comment" or create a new "Jira issue". For some users that do not use it/rely on these functions and only want to highlight specific comment, these features interfere on the usability to do so.

      This is a suggestion to have an option to toggle off the pop-up options. In the Server edition of Confluence, some workarounds like disabling the system "Page Highlight Actions" add-on would help.

            For me this behavior covered up valuable context above the selection (now under the popup) for a screenshot I wanted to take.

            This behavior is extremely annoying for those who don't use it. Forcing the popup behavior makes the UX categorically worse for myself and many other users.

             

            If Atlassian won't make the popups optional they could at least be consistent about the DOM element properties they use. I have created manual rules through my browser adblocker to kill these annoyances, but the rules constantly break due to churn in the HTML.

            I agree whole-heartedly with the previous comments.  At the most basic level (as mentioned by @Martin | Zwerm), deviating from expected behavior should never be the default!

            From a UX Perspective, anything that changes the default behavior of the browser should be optional. Please add a tick box to switch this off per user.
