Greetings all;

The helper popups are nice for the new bee, but they often cover the
line of code, obscuring the data until you click some place else, then
reclick where you are working.

Moving that popup a couple lines of code up, leaving the line above the
one you are working on visible which would remove a lot of distraction
and mis-clicks as this old coot is working.

Thank you.

Cheers, Gene Heskett.

I assume you mean the auto-complete. This can be disabled
in Preferences -> Editor -> Autocomplete.

This is part of the editor itself which is an external
component. I don't think we have control over the position
of the popups.

ciao,
