Description

Sometimes the code parameters hint window appears behind the edit window. After hitting Ctrl+Shift+Enter about 14 times, I figure this is the case again. Only when resizing the the edit window it is sometimes possible to see part of the hint window (that's how I discovered it was behind the edit window). Only solution I have found it to restart Delphi (also happened in D4).

Yeah, I've seen this before too. I wish I knew how to reproduce it, but really, it should be a one-line fix for Borland: just use SetWindowPos() to bring the hint window to the front, every time it's displayed.

Has anyone seen this in D7? I don't think it's a serious enough problem for Borland to fix in old versions.

It's still there in D7!!!!!

OK. Any steps to reproduce it? I haven't seen it myself and I use both D5 and D7 a lot...
