Thread BDS 2007 - Pop up windows off screen

Hi,

Anyone have a solution to the code completion windows sometimes
appearing off the left side of the screen in BDS 2006? I've found the
bug report but no work arounds. Thought someone here might have stumbled
across a solution.

Thanks,

Sean

Hi Sean,

That is the single most annoying thing with BDS2006, .. I thought it was
happening to me coz I have a dual screen setup. I'd love to know a fix also!

Steve,

I played around for a while and found a solution. Here is what is happening:

if the pop-up is wide enough to push off the right side of the screen,
it gets moved to a position off the left side of the screen. This is why
it works sometimes and not others. Within an object method, type "Self."
 (or anything else that would bring up code completion)
on the left margin and it will display correctly. Keep indenting and
typing "Self." until the pop-up would move off the screen and you'll see
the problem.

I never remembered seeing this until about a month ago and now I
realized that at some point I must have widened the pop-window to see
more info.

To make it less likely to move off screen, type "Self." at the left
margin and resize the code completion pop-up window to a smaller width.

Hope this save you as much frustration as I know it will save me,

Sean

Hi Sean,

You are a life saver! I owe you a beer or two, mate!

Fixed in a matter of seconds. When the answer is *SO* bloody obvious, it is
embarassing to admit to not having thought of it Frown
