I need help with disabling this window popup

Can someone help me disable this window popup that shows the size and position of every window that I drag and resize? It's driving me insane! Here's a screenshot https://ibb.co/DRhdVDZ

Hello and welcome.

Which distro and version of Xfce? There is an xfwm4 build option to enable the display of that information. Perhaps your distro has this enabled as a compile time option?

You should reach out to the fedora packager to discuss, or alternatively look at building your own version of xfwm4.

It's probably a good idea to install Fedora Xfce instead of installing Xfce on top of Fedora Workstation with Gnome. I'll try that and see if it fixes the problem.

I run fedora xfce spin installed direct and unfortunately these popups are always present. (https://forum.xfce.org/viewtopic.php?id=16512)
Maybe in the future they will make this optional (this has been talked about - I can't remember where), but for the time being you have to put up with these popups.

Thank you for letting me know. Hopefully they will make those popups optional. I've decided to install Debian with Xfce instead. It's been really solid so far.
