The parameter tooltip doesn't work on constructors with VS2010.
The first argument in the tooltip is always bold regardless of where the cursor is. (see picture)




VA build 1856

I am seeing the same effect here. However, your screenshot displays a default Visual Studio tooltip. If you turn on VA version of the tooltip

VA Options -> Advanced -> Dislay -> Enable automatic Quick Info ToolTips

you will run into a different problem, however: VA cannot dislay tooltips in this special case if the statement is not closed with a semicolon:

Size (1, |)

it works if you do close it:

Size(1, |);



Unfortunately this is a known problem:

case=32921

Tip: you can display the parameter info tooltip any time via ctrl+shift+space.

Thanks for your response.

I didn't realize I had that option turned off. I get the same behaviour if I disable Visual Assist, so it's a pure VS2010 bug.

With the option turned on it works as specified, if the statement is closed.

btw: ctrl+shift+space doesn't work either, unless you close the statement first.

Yes, unfortunately. case=32921 covers this problem as well.
