Description
Using Arduino IDE 1.8.14 Hourly Build 2021/03/09 09:33 with Windows 10 64 bit
- In the IDE editor type `foo()`
- Hold the `Enter` key until the above text scrolls off the screen.
- Edit > Find > Find: > `foo` > Find
- The screen scrolls up to `foo`, after a second a tooltip appears:
Apparently Find is causing a malfunction of a new feature added to show a tooltip of off-screen opening parts of the match for the bracket where the cursor is at. It might be an upstream bug in RSyntaxTextArea.
This occurs in all IDE versions from Arduino IDE 1.8.2 on
This does not occur with Arduino IDE 1.8.1
----
An additional problem I noticed caused by this bug is the Arduino IDE steals focus from the Find window when the unnecessary tooltip appears.
Contributor guide
Research direction
Reproduce the issue in Arduino IDE 1.8.14 on Windows using the listed Find steps, then compare the behavior with IDE 1.8.1. Investigate the RSyntaxTextArea tooltip behavior triggered after Find; done means the unnecessary tooltip no longer appears and the Find window retains focus.
