Title: debugger plugin's tip windows does not show content with horizontal scroll bar
Post by: ollydbg on October 22, 2025, 04:04:30 am

Hi, if the horizontal scroll bar exists, the content get covered, see the 2 images in the attachment.

This is caused when the popup window size is wider than the space left to the right edge of the parent window.

For example: When this happens, move the editor window to the left to allow room for the full popup window. Show the data again,
then the popup window will show correctly.

I know this isn't a fix. ..just sayin'...

Thanks. Can we dynamically change the outer window size? Well, we still need to find a way to fix such issue, though this is not a big issue.  :)

Not the debug tip window, sometimes, the code completion tip(from the clangd_client plugin) window becomes extremely large, see the blow two screen shot, the tip window cover the whole C::B window, also the tip window extended to another screen.  :(

 Is there any way you could tell me what "auto" actually is or give me an example as to how to re-create the situation you're showing here?

You can simply do this:

1, clone the code repo or download the zip file:  asmwarrior/parserlib: A c++ recursive-descent PEG parsing library that supports left recursion. (https://github.com/asmwarrior/parserlib).

2, open the cbp project in the root folder: https://github.com/asmwarrior/parserlib/blob/master/test_parser_lib.cbp

3, open the file: cpp_lexer_grammar.h in the C::B editor

4, you can use clangd_client, and use the mouse to hover the "token" variable in the line 172

5, you will see a very big tip window which cover the whole screen, note I only tested on Windows 10 OS.

Thanks.
