Comment #5 by Bruce STEERS:
I think it shows the wrong thing if the help does not exist for the current selected parameter.
If the Page does not exist it seems to display the last page that did. (i've reported that glitch on the bugtracker)
also if the console/debug panel is expanded at the bottom the screen the lower part of the popup shows underneath it.
And yes it seems to depend a lot on typing position, doesn't happen in the upper area, mid-to-lower screen area it mostly happens, more at the bottom.
Probably no point in sending a project Benoít it happens on everything, it's the gambas IDE project and you have that :)
I've attached another picture where the popup is both over my typing area and underneath the debug panel.
I think it does not so much happen if the popup is for when the cursor is inside say a InStr(,| ) dealing with arguments and just a single line popup shows but the popup for the .Index property on something as you're typing Index , that popup will.
Although to be clear typing isn't so much a problem , it's deleting/backspace , you cannot see what you've deleted.
An additional note on the debug window..
when doing a search the result sometimes selects and moves cursor to just below the debug/console window just out of sight.
Maybe a GotoCenter() needed there?
Many thanks Benoít :)
