Is there a way to get the "flip mate" icons to disappear sooner?

   I have finally figured out what these new icons that have been showing up on my screen are, and I can see where they can be helpful if they didn't clutter the screen so bad. The problem is that when you are chugging along mating away. (Not that kind of mating and you don't do what ever the magic trick is to delete them you can soon lose track of which one goes to what mate. let alone that they soon hide what you are working on. As I type this there are 3 on my screen that have been there for several minutes. They just don't do away until I do something (I have no idea what) that makes them disappear.
