Code Assit boxes

Post by **kingargyle** » Thu Mar 02, 2006 10:51 pm

When one of the editors is in full screen (particularly the XSLT editor), and a line is being added near the bottom of the screen, the code assist boxes pop up over the text that is being entered. While not really a bug, it is a useability issue as it obstructs what is being typed. Ideally it would be nice to have it pop up a few lines above the line that is being typed.

Also, it would be helpful if the code assist box was dynamic in size, as it is now, one match creates the same size box as multiple matches.

This happens in 7.0 and 7.1.

Hello,

We will try in a future version of <oXygen/> to display the popup of the content completion assistant so that the text around the caret position is not obstructed when this position is near the bottom of the window.

The size of the popup is dynamic already. This is true for element names, attribute names, attribute values and entity references. If there are only 3 items in the popup the height is 3 rows. If there are 7 or more items the height is 7 rows which is the maximum height for the content completion popup.

Regards,
Sorin

Yes, indeed, "smart" placement of the Content Assist dialog would be very helpful: as it is, the CA dialog pops up in a very annoying manner.
