Killing folded code "tooltip" [message #261943]

Is there any way to stop Eclipse displaying folded code in a tooltip when
the mouse happens to be over the hover area? It's damn annoying to move
the mouse pointer out of the way of the code only to have the entire
editor obscured by code you are not, by definition, interested in (I mean,
that's why the code is folded, right, because you are not interested in
it).

the damn things are called "hovers"
--> Window -> Preferences
type hover in type filter text

uncheck the checkbox "combined hover" or add a key binding by selecting
the entry and typing the key in the textfield below

Thanks, but it doesn't work.

OK - I got what you mean. All other hover types seem to be affected by
the hover settings except those folded areas...

Maybe you could write a bug report? This seems to be an eclipse platform
issue, not for CDT.

I could do. I'd like to.

But I have this theory about organisations which require registration just
to enter a bug report, so I won't. Sorry.

That's OK; I have this theory about people who refuse to contribute back
to the community that has given them a useful tool for free. I won't
help them or answer their questions. Sorry.

Jeez, what do you think someone is going to do with your email address?
Maybe they'll use Google analytics to track what other software you use
and web sites you visit and then send email to your boss to let him know
you are not working your full 8 hours per day. Or maybe Eclipse wants to
steal your identity... yeah, that's it - Eclipse is just a front for a
Russian mafia organization that is extorting the poor sops who register
in Bugzilla. And Apache, Mozilla, RedHat are all in on it, too.

Give me a break...

I don't know why you think I should be obliged to do anything, I'm not,
and neither are you.

No one said you were obligated to anything. What I said was that if
you're not willing to take the simple step of entering a bug or request
into Bugzilla, don't expect to get help with this free, open-source tool
on this free, volunteer-based forum.

Open-source only succeeds when it is a 2-way street.
