Code hint cut off in procedure window
jtigor
In a procedure window a code hint appears in the status bar, but is cut off for multiline hints There seems to be no way to scroll through the text. Is there a way to display the entire hint?

Hint text for "do" is highlighted in image below.
Well, no, that space wasn't ever intended for multi-line text. It was originally for "status" messages. However, you can right-click on a term of interest like "do" and get a contextual menu that includes "Insert Template for xxx" and "Help for xxx".

Thanks. Thought I was missing something simple. Maybe this should be marked as a bug or a feature to be enhanced later.

I don't think there's much value in seeing the additional lines for the terms that result in multiple lines of text. These tend to be the flow control keywords which are pretty straightforward.
