I don't like the way that when you hover in blank space way to the right of a line, you sometimes get tooltips.

Most lines don't do this because they don't have a symbol at the end of the line. But when it does happen, it's annoying. If I'm several inches from any symbol, I don't want a tooltip appearing.

Lines on which it does happen include

#include "Blah.h"

and

class Foo: public Bar

C++, VAX 1233, VS.NET 2003 (new IDE today!), Verdana 11pt.

Correction: it happens in any line which is not "terminated" by an char-not-valid-in-a-symbol.

e.g.:

somevar = varA 
   + varB
   + varC;

You see tooltips for varA and varB if you hover over the blank remainder of the line. Also in lines like "namespace whatever".

I see this behaviour in C++ and in C# (VB anybody?).
