How to stop instruction options popup

I would like to eliminate the formatting options that popup when you are typing in instructions.  Attached is an example.

Go to menu Tools, Options. There you go to the 'Completion and Hints' under section 'Editor'. Uncheck 'Auto Display Function Prototypes'.

Thanks! That didn't work exactly like what I was wanting.  It stopped the completion of an instruction when you hit a period also.  I only hope to get rid of the ywllow popup, but it would seem that they probably would go together.

I just tried, and on my Lazarus it suggestions when pressing period still works.
Which Lazarus version do you use and on which OS?

Actually, I am using CodeTyphon 8.7.  I think that it is actually Lazarus, so I asked here.  The CodeTyphon 8.7 was installed this morning.  I had the problem with 8.6 and thought the problem would be fixed with 8.7, but no results.

It more or less is the same base (just they throw in a lot of extra package, and some tools of their own).

If or if not they actually have patches to the IDE itself => I don't know.

----------------
I tested with 4.99 and switching of that hint, did not disable the completion.

The completion can be controlled in the codetool settings "Identifier completion".

Though, if memory servers (not 100% sure) it uses the same timer as the hint.
Which means if you changed the delay for the hint (rather than disable it by the checkbox), then you may (probably) also have changed the delay for the code completion.

Thanks for your help.  I downloaded Lazarus and installed it.  The auto select window works fine in Lazarus as can be seen in the attachment.  So it is a CodeTyphon bug.

So it is a CodeTyphon bug.

So also report it in the codetyphon forum, that way PilotLogic can solve the bug.
OS: Windows 11 / Linux Mint 22.1
       Lazarus 4.0 RC FPC 3.2.2
       CodeTyphon 8.70 FPC 3.3.1

Yes, definitely planning on doing that.  Thanks for the heads up on where to post the bug.
