Pop-ups appear when hovering over window buttons on Mac

everytime my cursor hovers over the green icon this extremely irritating pop up menu appears. the problem is that when i open a new window and start typing in the search bar the menu is still in place.

Either refrain from hovering over the green grow button or…

  1. click anywhere outside the drop down menu
  2. press the escape key.

Then open a new window.
