 * I insert an affiliate link or cancel the affiliate link, but it is hindered by
   a pop-up window that makes me unable to operate

 * Hi [@thaole95](https://wordpress.org/support/users/thaole95/),
 * The placement of the link insertion pop-up shouldn’t overlap the toolbar. It 
   may be the case that is a plugin-related issue, or that the WordPress version
   isn’t up to date.
 * There are few important things that can help us solve this issue:
 * 01. Try disabling the plugin you’re using for “nofollow” and “sponsored link”,
   and let me know if that stops the link insertion pop-up from getting in the way
   of the block toolbar.
 * Note that also, by disabling the plugin itself you should have an “unlink” button
   in your link insertion pop-up (the native one looks like this [https://share.cleanshot.com/3eiAQT](https://share.cleanshot.com/3eiAQT)).
 * This way we can understand if the plugin causes troubles or understand the issue
   further and find if something in WordPress is causing it.
 * 02. Can you share with me the WordPress version you’re using?
 * 03. Do you have the Gutenberg plugin installed and active?
 * In case you sense I haven’t understood your issue properly can you further clarify
   it by providing an extensive explanation?
 * Thanks!

 * Thank you for your support. I solved my problem by rolling the mouse as the tool
   appeared. However this will come in handy for experienced users, if new users
   will have this problem and mess around with it, So fix it if possible. my WordPress
   version is said to be the latest version

 * Hi [@thaole95](https://wordpress.org/support/users/thaole95/),
 * Very pleased to hear that you’ve solved the issue. Generally, the insertion link
   will not overlap the toolbar. If it happens you can always press ‘Esc’ or click
   with the mouse cursor on different places, and the issue will most likely disappear
   as in your case did.
 * Due to the fact that the matter is most likely related to the plugin, the issue
   may be mentioned there. If you feel like sharing the issue/experience, you feel
   free to do so at your issue-related plugin support:

 * While I’ll make sure that the issue isn’t happening in WordPress native editor,
   by running a few tests.
