Re: Hover over variable doesn't always work

Hi Vern,

I briefly see "Creating Connections to TBFPWR7" (my system name)... but it goes away very quickly.

This "hover" issue includes internally described work fields, and doesn't seem to care whether the code is in free or fixed format.
Also, it doesn't seem to matter how long I wait. The issue is immediately resolved the instant I type something in the source member (I typed a space on a comment line to resolve it)

Hi Greg

Is there a status message in the lower right about resolving external
files or the like?

While editing an RPGLE source member, I often hover over a variable if I can't recall the definition (it also lets me know if I've forgotten to define a new variable).

For some reason, this does not work at all when I first open RDi and open a source member. Hovering the mouse cursor over the variable does nothing. However, once I've had it open for a while (usually editing/changing), it seems to work fine.

Anyone else observe this? I'm at version 9.1

Thanks,
Greg
