Good Evening,
In my move to C::B, things are smoothing out. I'm getting used to where things are and how they operate, etc.
In using intellisense/CodeCompletion...when typing in a class name the popup then shows me the available member function, variables, and other class internals as it should.
To clarify, as I type in "SomeClass->" ((then the popup show up with the options))
When my mouse cursor is near the bottom of the screen working on a new member function, some options are displayed, but others have scrolled offscreen and I can't see them.
The workaround is for me to put a bunch of white space below the function I'm working on - to force my work to be more center screen.
I'm looked at the environment settings and the editor settings....I don't see an option to have this informative popup show up center-screen - or some other setting to keep all of it's contents on the screen.
Am I missing something? Is there a setting for this? It's certainly not an issue - rather it would be purely convenience.
If not - I'll just keep doing what I'm doing at present.
Thanks!
Dave

Can you try a nightly build? There were a lot improvements about placing the cc window after the 17:12 release
-
Yes I will give the nightly a shot
I'll need to do it in a VM. I don't want to cause issues on my main development platform.
It'll be this evening before I can try it. I'll put in a KVM VM and give it a shot....
Thank you for the reply!
Dave
<edit> Do you have a platform preference? I am on Arch Linux, but can just as easy put it in a Windows VM if you prefer.

The nightlies seem to be Windows centric. I am not on Windows. I am on Arch Linux. Windows became too problematic for me with their forced updates and horrible quality control - and I moved my family and my two clients to Linux both on the server and on the desktop.
I am really soured on Windows. Their file delete bug hit my wife and deleted 20 years of documents, and all of her University work (she's a teacher). Thank God I had just backed her up the night before. I used a Linux USB stick and recovered everything - except the folder structure. That was the end of Windows in our house.
I'll just keep adding white-space to the bottom of my code for now....I'm not putting windows back on my system for the foreseeable future.
Thanks for the info though...
Dave
