Description Petr Pisl 2008-08-19 11:05:57 UTC
When you invoke cc, the documentation window for the selected items is usually displayed on top of the cc window. But it
means that it hides the part of the editor, where user wrote the text just before invoking cc.

Comment 4 Max Sauer 2008-08-28 12:28:04 UTC
Fixed. Currently, this could be turned on inside Tools|Options|Editor|General, inside Code Completion section (Display Documentation next to Completion). 
We can possibly turn it on by default later.
