Every time I use Text tool to create a textbox in gimp 2.8, the textbox has an attached translucent options menu that is seriously annoying.

How do I get rid of it?

I'm used to editing text in gimp 2.6 (which works much better in many ways), but I want to avoid downgrading.

Simply select another tool in the tool box, such as the Move tool, then it will go away, leaving only the text and layer boundary visible. The M key will switch to the Move tool, if you want a shortcut.

If you don't want to see the layer boundary, in the main menu along the top click View, and deselect show layer boundary

There is no way, as far as I know, to disable the text box options display while using the Text tool. You can enable the old "Use Editor" option in the tool options for the Text tool, but it still doesn't disable the text box display.
