Generating right-click test-script on overload behaves differently in pane and code, list truncated

When creating a test script by right-clicking on the method name in the code content pane and by right-clicking on the name in the code, the behaviour is different.
When having overloaded methods, right-clicking on the method in the content pane, creates a test script with the selected overload.
Right-clicking on the method in the code (the editable part of the program window), a dialog with overloads is shown. Why? The program window knows which overload is the present, as it is marked in the content pane.

This is not a new issue, I can seee that it is also present in version 14, but please fix this in version 15.

Also, the horisontal scroll bar in the 'Select Overloading' pop-up does not correspond to when text is truncated.
Example: view the sys.standard package. Find an overload of the 'greatest' in the code, right-click and select Test. The popup is shown with 10+ overloads. Even when the scrollbar is scrolled to the far right, the texts '..with time zone' and '..with local time zone' are still truncated. You have to manually drag the window wider to view all text.
And when you drag the scrollbar to the right, there are some visual artifacts in the truncated texts. If you shift to another program and back to PLD, the artifacts disappear.
 
Update: the list that is shown when the code assistant is activated has the same (faulty) features as described above.
The list can truncate data without showing a horisontal scroll bar. Neither the vertical nor the horisontal scroll bar can be dragged to move focus. Only when you click in the 'elevator shaft', the focus is shifted one page at a time, but if you need to scroll to the bottom of a list, you will have to click many times in the empty part of the scrollbar area to get to the end (or use the keyboard).

Example: write "dbms_" and press F6 to activate the code assistant. Narrow the list width until the object type 'package' is truncated into 'pa'. Even now, there is no horisontal scrollbar. Only when the list is narrowed further, a scrollbar is shown. To get to the bottom of the list you will have to click many times in the vertical srollbar area, the scrollbar can not be dragged by the mouse. This also applies to the horisontal scrollbar.

Can this be fixed?
 
The problem with the 'out-of-sync' scrollbar in code assistant and the problem that the scrollbar can not be dragged (as stated in update post above) is still an issue in beta 4.
