How can I quit the yellow thing preview while moving the mouse in the scene? It's possible?

 

Thanks!

    Go to the item in the scene tab and next to it, there is a small check, click it to an "X" and it won't be selected when you move over it.

    Draw Settings pane, under Node Highlighting set the Highlight Style to Bounding Box Only.

    You mean device setting next to preferences? 

     

    Thanks!

    While the yellow shadowing can be annoying, I found I missed it after turning it off, and turned it back on. I found I'd become reliant on it for:

    1. Final camera check (positioning) from the image camera after turning headlight off.
    2. Confirming position and orientation of a background object. The full model can be seen even if mostly hidden.
    3. Confirming object identity; where multiple instances of an object exist. Visually see correct selection, then pop up shows name (primarily used to parent/group objects).
    4. Confirming positioning; it's easier to see if/how much an object is below the floor/surface upon which it sits. 

    Sometimes our worst annoyances serve a purpose.
