Issue whenever I start a new assignment

Whenever I start a new assignment, it covers the bar to enter the assignment name with a random list of six previous assignment names and I have to click off to the side to get rid of it. Not a big deal for one assignment. I'm putting in about 40 assignments each for 5 classes, and this gets really, really old and annoying after about the 50th time I hit this delay. It's nearly as annoying as when the mouse moves less than half an inch to the right of the "score entry points" and it pops up a window asking me if I want to save or delete the changes. Both of these make putting in grades an exercise in frustration and wasted time. Once or twice, sure. 200+ times? Problem. There's also no way to use "tab" to go to the next field, so it's mouse-keyboard-mouse-keyboard-mouse-keyboard-mouse-keyboard-mouse-keyboarmouse-keyboard-mouse-keyboard-d-mouse-keyboard-mouse-keyboard-mouse-keyboard-mouse-keyboard-mouse-keyboard-mouse-keyboard-mouse-keyboard-mouse-keyboard-mouse-keyboard-mouse-keyboard-mouse-keyboard-mouse-keyboard-mouse-keyboard to enter things in.
Please tell me there is some way to get rid of these features??? I haven't been able to find it, and it's incredibly frustrating, like the programmers deliberately sat and went "oooh, I know!!! Let's make them use their mouse constantly! AND, we'll set it so that if they go just a tiny bit to the side of the box they want to type in, it pops up a window to block them from simply moving the mouse back! Brilliant! This sort of low-level irritation is what we're looking for, there's a bonus in your paycheck for this one!". 😞

@maroongrad   Not sure if this will fix some of the issues, but have you tried to clear browser history or using a different  browser. We have noticed recently when using Chrome things don't always work the way they should.
