I don't believe that this was the case in old versions of VA, or by default in Visual Studio.
A specific example:
if I have 2 functions

int SomeFunc( char param, bool param2 = true );
int SomeFunc( int param, bool param2 = true );

And in code I type

Somefunc( x );

if I then go back and change x to say y, a tooltip appears. This tooltip starts with [1 of 2] if I press the down arrow to advance to the next line, my cursor stays where it is, and the tooltip shows a new function prototype, and starts with [2 of 2].

I don't like this behavior. Is there someway to not allow tootips to capture the arrow keys? so that I can have tooltips, and continue to navigate a file with the arrow keys?

I kind of like this behavior. How else are you going to get to the other function prototypes?

:) Seriously though. sounds to me if we have people that disagree on the feature's usability, then it lends itself to a configurable setting.

I agree with the configurability. Don't you know the developers just love to hear that

For better or worse, we copied the behavior default Intellisense.

Press ESC before the down arrow.

We are unlikely to add a setting for this behavior. We are not fond of option bloat.

I understand your reluctance to add options. When I have to add options, I find that one of the hardest parts is trying to describe what the option does to the end user. I really like the way you do your descriptions with the toolTips that pop up over the check box or radio button.

I do wish you would consider making this better than Intellisense.
