[Solved] Editor code completion popup listbox is too narrow
« on: October 13, 2021, 03:26:31 am »
I recently upgraded to the latest laz client and I’m wondering if I did the right thing.

When I’m using the editor , the popup list for auto completion is Too narrow to show some of the longer procedures and functions

Is there a way to make it wider ?
It is truncating things and I can’t see the last part of what I’m selecting

There seems to be a wide gap of blank space  between the descriptor and the procedure names .

This is odd, I'm pretty sure there was UI configuration for that.
However, you can just tweak your lazarus configuration file: environmentoptions.xml

Code: XML  [Select][+][-]
  1.       <CompletionWindowOptions>
  2.         <Width Value="320"/>
  3.       </CompletionWindowOptions>
  4.  
You can change "Value" to whatever is appropriate for your display

Thanks , that fixed it.i had to quit Lazarus First  to prevent change From being erased.

Do does anyone know how to change the colors inside the completion window ? It seems to be highlighting in read but I can’t find anything for color in the environmentoptions.xml file

There is also the hatched corner at the bottom right. Click and drag on it, changes the size.
