Sometimes, when I am typing a function call, I type an argument that pulls up a member list box for a structure, hit tab to complete the member for me, type a comma, and the function parameter information does not show up again. If I press my hotkey assigned to do that, the parameter info still does not show. If I move to another line of code, come back to my unfinished function call, and then press the hotkey, the parameter info shows again.

This seems to happen only when I type the function name in. I.e. if I type the function name and a (, and then go to another line and come back and then type the parameters, there is no problem showing the parameter info.

Yes, this plagued me. Doing a quick ctrl-tab ctrl-tab also sorts it out. IIRC the first tip is the VS built-in one (up and down arrows in the tooltip), the one which comes back is the 'proper' VA one.

WT changed something fundamental in parameter tooltip handling from VA7.1 -> VAX - apparently for important (though undisclosed) reasons.

I think they know about the problems.

This is still happening. I have found that if I hit the "esc" key first, then I can hit "ctrl-space" and the param tooltip is displayed. It is almost like something needs to be "reset" or "cleared" before the tooltip shows up again.

We cannot reproduce the problem on demand. We will watch for it. Let us know if you find a reproducable case, or other clues.
