pop-up bar when text is hilighted

is there anyway to make this bar not pop up until AFTER you release the mouse? As is, it sometimes blocks view of the text immediately surrounding the highlighted text. if there is a sentence immediately under the hilited text, the bar covers it. (not a great example because I had a space between paragraphs where I worked, but that whole line would be covered) As it is, the bar immediately pops up when any text is highlighted, even if you’re still highlighting stuff.
