Hi,

When you have HTML style hints enabled in the IDE, the code editor hints look much better. But here is a question. It seems like some of the text inside the hint are HTML URLs (links) - indicated by the blue underlined text. What is the point of that? Because you can't actually move the mouse over the hint window to click on those links, because as soon as you move the mouse, the hint window closes.

See attached image, to explain the link text I am talking about.

Regards,
- Graeme -

It is planned to keep the hint open when the mouse moves towards and over the hint.?

Note:?
When you enable Codetools / Identifier completion / Show help, the hint is shown to the right side of the completion box. Here you can click on the links.? ?
