Disable iCal predictive text pop-ups when adding events?

I'm running macOS Tahoe 26.3.1.

Whenever I add an appointment in iCal, after I type a few words, iCal creates a pop-up which blocks the date/time section, as well as the Alert section, of that iCal appointment.

When I add an appointment, I always want to set the start and end time, as well as set an alert.

However, iCal always creates a pop up covering those fields. The pop-up simply parrots what I've already typed and adds no value. I'd prefer to not see any pop-ups or predictive text (not sure the term for what is happening here) when adding an appointment in iCal.

I have attached an example of this phenomenon. As you can see, I'm in the middle of typing and appointment name, and two pop-ups (outlined in blue) have appeared covering up the appointment start and end time options, as well as the Alert fields. I have to click away from this appointment, then click back into the appointment to add the start time, end time, and alert time.

I understand this may not seem like a big deal but when you add 100+ appointments each week it can become quite irksome.

Is there any way to turn this predictive behavior off?
