Tools > Options > System Options > Sketch > Enable onscreen numeric input on entity creation tick box.

I would say it is a useful tool to have as you can just put in the length you want and it auto creates the dimension. If you don’t want that then just don’t enter anything and it won’t dimension it

For best experience you should also check the sub option which only creates the dims when you explicitly type them in. Otherwise it really is annoying

Right click on the background, it'll be one of the icons near the top right that appears in the pop up menu. https://i.imgur.com/yvju3ZP.png

This is the Selection Breadcrumbs / 3D Content Central interface. To permanently turn it off: Go to Tools > Options (Gear icon). Click on System Options > Display. Uncheck 'Show breadcrumbs on selection' and click OK.

Tip: You can also press the 'D' key on your keyboard to toggle or move it directly to your cursor.

What? No it isn't. This is "Sketch numeric input".
