Summary	0009975: Setting to turn off GUI instructions
Description	Noticed in nightly build that there are new instructions added into the GUI. "Right-click or Double-click here to add Track, Bus, or VCA" These occur in Editor, Mixer, Record and Cue windows. Suggesting to add a setting in Preferences that would allow user to be able to turn these GUI based instructions off. Once user knows this information, it might not be desired to see this information all the time. Also sometimes they can look strange as they get covered. For example if you add ammount of tracks required to almost fill the vertical height of your Editor window, the text can get covered up half way with the Track boxes. Thank You
