Player info popup a distraction in games

I just had a lost blitz game today due to this. From the back rank and to the player names, there is a distance of like 10-15 pixels. I wanted to move a rook off the back rank, but accidentally took the cursor a bit too far, and the player name huge info box popped up, resulting in a wrong move.

I don't know what the solution is here, but could be interesting to hear if other people found it distracting.

I've never seen this happen on any blitz games i've watched on youtube. Would zen mode help?
Yah I guess that could be a solution? Although I like seeing the ratings.

Here is a picture of the issue:

Maybe you can resize the board or the browser window to force the text to appear elsewhere?
