appdesigner - disruptive help popups

Matlab 9.6.0.1472908 (R2019a) Update 9

(I cannot use a newer version because of compatibility issues with others using my code)

How can I disable those super annoying help popups in App Designer when trying to type anything? I cannot see surrounding code, the popups grab the cursor keys, and they never help (me). It seems that they can be disabled easily in newer versions of App Designer, but I could not find a way in 2019a.

Go to Home > Preferences > Editor/Debugger > Auto-completion.

Thanks - I already had all options in Autoformatting and Autocoding disabled. I know that in newer versions of Matlab, there is a switch to only show popups if TAB is pressed, but not in 2019a. I guess I'll have to continue to hammer the ESC-Key whenever I dare to stop typing for a 10th of a second.
