When I single-click any entry I automatically get an entry preview, and I have to close it each and every time which is annoying.
How can I disable this automatic entry preview when clicking on any of the entries?

The only temporary fix I came up with is to leave the edit entry tab open…

if you use the latest development version, there is an option Under view -\> toogle Entry Preview.
If you do it once it will be disabled.,
With entry preview enabled
with entry preview disabled: (Hitting Toogle once)
