Uncheck Tools > Settings... > View -- Show Pan tool ... :D

Yes, it's a pain isn't it, but the option was requested by users, and setting the default to Enabled does aid discoverability, although also raising the question of whether it can be disabled and how to do it. :wink:

I'm using v1.8.6, so if you are using the latest version v1.8.7 it has obviously been moved, you should I expect be able to find in another View menu.

Too much to hope that it has been deleted... :D

user0 where is it now? :wink:
