Error message covers table

Hi all,

 

I don't really understand why the UI of Power Query is throwing errors while writing an incomplete step, and covering the table with that error message.

 

I'm typing this formula, realizing I need to scroll to the right to read the exact column name, but as soon as I do that, Power Query thinks there's an error and places that error on top of the table, so I cannot read the column name.

 

There doesn't seem to be a way to dismiss this message either.

Would be better indeed if it would be possible to scroll in the overview while editing the formula, I don't know how to prevent that.

What I usually do to replace values:

1/Go to the column where you want to change the values

2/Right click the column header > Replace values

3/ enter value to find and value to replace with

 

This way you don't have to type the exact name of the column
