Scite Calltip blinking when typing comments

[MaximusCZ]

Hello, I played with .properties file (attached below).

Now I got my scite to my liking, but when I am typing comments, the calltip window blinks..: it flashes open and closes again a frame later or so. It only does so when typed character in the word can open calltip (eg it will do when typing N after typing FU (to calltip func), but if the string of character is random then the calltip wont open at all (and wont blink)

In my properties file I have set line "highlight.current.word.by.style=0" as I dont want calltips/highlighting to work at all when doing comments.

In the rest of the script (ie when not in comment) the calltips and highlighting works perfectly OK.
EDIT: It also happens when typing in a string, ie passing parameter inside " " ..

Any idea what it might cause to open and imidiatelly close the calltip when typing comments?

Here's a "Pro Tip" to help you trouble shoot it yourself, start fresh and make your changes one by one until you find the setting that causes the issue.

Also, why do you have "\t" (tab) characters on this line?

highlight.current.word.colour=#FF0000\t\t\t;Color of highlighht

I went by searching this forum for finished configs, and then found out none fully satisfied me. I then get into process of merging those features I liked, but interestingly, you can set one thing in one config, and by just not including the line in second config and applying it, it doesn't revert the change made by first.

Thus to get some settings back to what it was before, I had to search which line did it, find out about it, and apply it again in new config with different settings.... And while I was at it, I went trough This page, adding most of the things to the config, with applying changes between every line.

 

What I want to say is that I already went by process of adding one by one, as almost every line inside was added that way, AND, by starting clean I am not sure I can get scite into actuall clean state. I was hoping someone would know, but I guess Ill have to do it "again".
 

\t\t\thanks for pointing it out, dont know how it got there

 

 

Even after loading clean (empty) SciTEUser.properties file and having load default color scheme, the issue still exists.

Could it be that I used calltips manager to add my working dir as User Include Folder?
