Layer States Manager obscured

When I open the Layer States Manager, I get the useless and persistent box outlined in the appended image.  It obscures my search.  I want it killed.  

 

How may I prevent this box from blotting out my list?

 

Many thanks.

That's a TOOLTIP.

 

Set value for TOOLTIPS = 0 to turn it off.

 

This will turn off all tooltips, so you may want to turn it back on when done w/ Layerstates.

Try putting this in your ACADDOC.lsp file.

 

It will setup the "STARTUP" function (that runs everytime you open/create a dwg file).  It will UNDEFINE the layerstate command and then create  NEW layerstate command that runs in it's place.

 

The new version will turn off TOOLTIPS, then run the original layerstate command and then restore it to its previous setting.  This way your existing menus will still work.  🙂

 

(defun-q lstate()
  (undefine "layerstate")
  (defun c:layerstate(/ tips)
    (setq tips (getvar "tooltips"))
    (setvar "tooltips" 0)
    (command "_.layerstate")
    (setvar "tooltips" tips)
  )
)(setq S::STARTUP (append S::STARTUP lstate))
