It’s very rare that holding alt while selecting text doesn’t resolve this issue.

But I'm not actually looking to select the text when I do this, I'm just stimming and the extra visual noise is annoying.

I don't think I understand the issue then.

I'm complaining about pop-up widgets appearing when you select text, like the email icon here:

A clipping of a paragraph with some of the text selected and a box with an email icon above the selected text, obscuring the text underneath it.
