I think I have not found my answer as I do not know how to properly call the objects.

but, looking in the menu's of pgadmin 1.14 and the help documentation I can see no references to nor how to remove the + signs for parentheses that have shown up in the latest version of pgadmin - anyone know how to remove/hid them?

Maybe if you told us what issue you had, we may help you. Right now, I
have absolutely no idea what you're talking about.

Nope. There's no way to disable it. Maybe something to add to the next
release, but actually, I don't see the point. It's never collapsed by
default, so the display doesn't change much between. Just don't click the
minus buttons.

Yes, ofcourse,

in the latest release of pgadmin, in the sql editor window where you write queries,

enter:

select (

)

and you will see a box in the left margin that appears with a '-' in it.  click that and it collapses the area contained by the ( ), it now has turned into a +, which you can click and it expands the area that is in the ().

My question is how does one get rid of that functionality.  I do not see it in the release notes anywhere, and I don't see a menu entry for it on the View menu.  Is there a key somewhere I can toggle to get it to be disabled/hidden?

I would want to as it is adding visual noise - and it is not even working properly, you can end () on another line and it has phantom arms stretching below the actual last ) , hence the visual noise.
