SE73904: RDI 9.6.0.8 LPEX MOUSE HOVER TEXT BALLOON MAY BE TOO SMALL TO SHOW PRESENTED CONTENT IN ILE RPG SOURCE

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• Editing ILE RPG source using the Remote Systems LPEX Editor
  Rational Developer for i (RDI) 9.6.0.8 hovering the mouse cursor
  over a symbol name in the source code can cause a â œhover
  help⠝ text balloon to open, showing details about the symbol
  definition. The size of the text balloon is sometimes too small;
  requiring scrolling within the text balloon to see the full
  text,  often just to see a few last characters. This should be
  improved so that the text balloon appears in an appropriate size
  that does not require scrolling when the text shown is small
  enough to fit within the editor view.

  * Editor hover help text balloon that opens is too small to    *
  * show its content.                                            *

  * RECOMMENDATION:                                              *
  ****************************************************************
  The hover balloon width would be too narrow to show the longer
  text within it, sometimes missing by just a few characters;
  requiring the user to have to scroll it horizontally for its
  content to be seen.
  

Problem conclusion

• The auto-sizing of the balloon width has been improved in the
  RDi 9.6.0.11 update.
