Code Editor - Unexpected 'peek' popup

Hello😀   I am not able to create support-case, so I have to ask question here. Hope someone can help.   I have encountered this issue from time to time, and it is really annoying. When I type s...

    Thanks ebarbera 

    I have checked the Code-Completion, but still no clue. This issue appears not relevant to Code-Completion

     

    Here is another example in attached screenshot, the popup shows function 'toolbar_saveClose'

     

    1. In current script, I have not USEUNIT the script containing function 'toolbar_saveClose', and as expected, I am not able to find the function 'toolbar_saveClose' in Code-Completion dialog of current script. So it is hard to believe that I 'triggered' a code-completion of function 'toolbar_saveClose'.

     

    2. I don't even know what it is (I call it code-peek for now). what is the official name of that Yellow-Popup ?

      Hi ShaunPenn 

       

      This is part of Code Outlining.

      You can turn it off by clicking anywhere in the built-in IDE and click Outlining > Stop Outlining.

       

      Once you collapse a method outline, you can hover over the ellipsis "[...]" to show a preview of the collapsed method.

       

      Hope this helps

      Mike

        thanks mikef 

         

        so the yellow pop is actually the method preview when hover on the [...]

        Normally, when you triggered a method preview, it is very easy to close it, by just hovering out of that [...]

         

        In my case, in Script-A, somehow I triggered a preview of method in Script-B, and the only way to close it is to click anything out of TC window, that is why it is annoying, sometimes, I have to do this several times in just one minute.

         

        it looks like the Code Editor unexpectedly detect [...] out of current tab, and for now the workaround seems to be

        1. close all rest tabs in my Code-Editor

        2. expand all methods (eliminating all [...]), so method preview would not be triggered
