If you double click an animation file then a persona window will open to enable you to preview the animation. In this window if you mouse over animations in the embedded asset browser it will play a smaller preview of which ever animation you mouse over, plus some additional stats. Is there a way to stop this small preview window from opening? Personally I find that it gets in the way of using the asset browser as the preview window opens up and obscures the list of animations in the asset browser. ---

It constantly prevents me from actually selecting an animation. I mouse over the animation and a preview appears UNDER my mouse pointer and I am not able to select it. I keep selecting what is just below in the list on accident as it just won’t get out of the way. ---

It also plays wwise audio events while previewing, making my dev colleagues jump out of their chairs as I play sounds through 7.1 setup… Is there finally an option to turn this off?
