When a function is collapsed with an outlining comand, there is no tooltip on the [...] symbol which shows the function body. Disabling VA X the tooltip appears.

Another tooltip related issue: when debugging if the mouse pointer points to a variable, the value of the variable will be shown. If VA X is disabled the contents of the tooltip is refreshed after each step. Enabling VA X the tooltip disappears after a debug step.

no tooltip in outlining mode:

case=463


tooltips in debug mode, using .NET 2003, VAX 1287 and C++ i have just tried the loop:

    int nCount;
    for(nCount = 0; nCount < 10; nCount++) {
        printf("counter now reads {%d}", nCount);
    }

i placed a break point on the printf line, and looked at the tooltip for nCount as the loop ran, stepping through with F10

with VAX enabled the tooltip was updating and showing the correct value of nCount for me. also the value in the tooltip was always the same as the value shown in the "Autos" debug window.

what IDE and version of VAX are you using? can you provide a small example that shows this effect?

IDE version is .NET 2003, 7.1.3088
VA X version is 1287

The point is that I did not touch the mouse. I tried it now again with your code snippet and it works the way as I discribed. If I hover the mouse cursor on nCount in the first row, and I leave it there, the tooltip appears with the current value. Stepping with F10, and leaving the mouse alone, the tooltip disappears and does not appear until I move the mouse cursor a bit. When VA X is disabled the tooltip blinks after each F10 step and shows the updated vale. Sometimes I watch variables this way, but it's no problem to watch them in Autos, so it is not an annoying thing.
