Tooltip on Secondary Displays: Can't Click It

ZianChoy

Should I be able to select a tooltip in SQL Server Management Studio when using a secondary display? What if the display has a portrait orientation?

When my mouse cursor is above the "_" in "tblfwdata_responses", I see the tooltip in the screenshot. But if I move the cursor towards the tooltip, then the floating yellow rectangle vanishes.

I already tried uninstalling all Red Gate software, rebooting, and reinstalling SQL Prompt.

System Details
- Windows 10 version 1909

- SQL Management Studio 18.8

- SQL Prompt 10.6.2.18034

I'm not able to reproduce the tooltip going over to the second screen with 10.6.2 as we used to in the past. Were you on a specific script? Would you be able to share it with us?

Regarding the floating yellow rectangle vanishing, if you restore the SQL Prompt options to defaults (SQL Prompt ->Options ->Restore all defaults), do you still have that issue?

>going over to the second screen

I'm not entirely sure what you mean. When SQL Server Management Studio is on my secondary display, I am OK with how the yellow tooltip shows up when I move the mouse cursor over a database object/function.

I'm only unhappy about the yellow tooltip going away unexpectedly.

>specific script?

SELECT MAX(1,2)

(Wiggle the mouse cursor over the word "MAX")

>Restore all defaults

The problem persists after clicking that button and restarting SQL Server Management Studio.

Current software versions:

- Windows Version 21H1

- SQL Server Management Studio v18.12.1

- Redgate SQL Prompt version 10.12.5.30313

I will post a screenshot of the problem in the next post.
