How to hide all source code tooltips in MacVim? - vim

Question

I installed MacVim 7.4-73_1 on MacOs X Yosemite using Homebrew. When in a ruby file hovering over certain words will cause a tooltip to fade in. It seems to slow Vim down causing a short lag while the tooltip loads, they also tend to get in the way. So, my goal is to hide these tooltips all together. I understand this may be caused by a plugin I am using but I can't seem to pin it down.
I have attached a gif below showing another strange behavior. The tooltips only show up if I begin editing a file from the vim explorer.
Below is a list of the vim plugins I am using and my .vimrc
All my plugins
ack.vim
mustache
nerdcommenter
sass-convert.vim
snipmate-mocha
snipmate-snippets
tabular
tlib_vim
vim-addon-mw-utils
vim-coffee-script
vim-css-color
vim-fugitive
vim-less
vim-rails
vim-rspec

Answer 1

You can read about that feature in :help balloon-eval.
That option is disabled by default so one of your plugins probably enabled it. This command should show you which one is the culprit:
:verbose set ballooneval?
You can disable that feature with :set noballooneval.
