Description Stephane Begaudeau

2015-07-28 10:36:08 EDT

AQL users will be able to provide a better documentation for their Java services using dedicated annotations. Unfortunately this documentation is barely readable in Sirius while creating an odesign because the content assist popup is too small.

While it could be greatly improved by breaking tons of things in your Properties views by changing the field used to write expression from a SWT Text widget to a JFace TextViewer and thus switching from the JFace field assist API to the JFace text assist API, it would be easier to just change the size of the content assist popup from 300x100 to 500x300 in org.eclipse.sirius.editor.tools.api.assist.TypeContentProposalProvider.

The behavior will need to be checked on non-retina displays, I'm not sure how this behaves if there is not enough screen space to show all the tooltips. Are they clipped? or moved from their normal position to be completely visible?

Tooltips behavior with limited screen real estate

See the screenshot for the behavior on a (relatively) low-resolution display, with completion triggered from a screen position on the far lower right of the screen. At least under Linux, SWT behaves correctly and moves the tooltips somewhere where they can be seen fully and without obstructing the expression being completer.
