How to restore an imploded popup in PL/SQL Developer

[Ebert Zeilstra]

In the preferences you can check the checkbox "Show variable and type declarations in a popup", under User Interface -> Code assistant. What this does is it shows a popup when you hover over a variable or type in the code. It worked fine, but now I got an minimized popup. Is there a way get the popup to normal size?

There are no settings that might affect this. Does the problem persist after restarting PL/SQL Developer?

 

[Ebert Zeilstra]

Yes the problem persist after restarting PL/SQL Developer, even a complete reboot of Windows didn't solve the problem. I have this problem for a couple of weeks now.

I use version 14.0.1.1965 (64 bit)

Can you update to 14.0.6 and try again?

 

[Ebert Zeilstra]

I have upgraded to version 15.0.1.2051 and the problem persists. After a downgrade to version 13.0.5.1908 the problem is gone. After an upgrade to version 14 or 15 the problem reoccurred

When I imported the connections from version 14 into version 13 the problem occurred in version 13 also.

I can't imagine how connection definitions might affect the editor popup. How did you import the connections? Perhaps other settings were changed in the process?

Today I did some things to get version 13 working again te right way. After that version 13 worked without problems, a popup with filling. I have 3 screen to work with, they are in the order left to right 2,3,1, On screen 1 (main screen) everything works fine. I get the popup with filling, on screen 2 nothing is shown and on screen 3 I get an empty popup. Do you know what can cause the problem?

This morning I checked again and the problem occurs on all 3 versions (13,14&15)
On the mainscreen a filled popup
On the second screen no popup at all
On the third screen an empty popup
