Javascript code hinting

Is there any way to keep code hinting on screen longer?
When typing a function, it is handy to see the expected parameters for a given function. Unfortunately, Dreamwaver closes the hint immediately without any key press.


Any way to extend the amount of time the hint remains visible?

    Do you have a multi-display or mono-display set-up?

    The normal behavior for DW is to leave the code hinting up until you either change focus, or continue typing to the point where there is no hint to give.

    It might be worthwhile to try restoring preferences. That catches all kinds of weird behavior in DW: https://helpx.adobe.com/dreamweaver/kb/restore-preferences-dreamweaver.html

    The hints are closing before any further key stroke or mouse action.

    Which version of DW?

    Which operating system?
