Documentation window takes focus from the editor

Question

It's kind of tricky to explain but let me try.

Say I want to type Log.wtf with the Documentation window (View → Quick Documentation) open whether floating or docked, it gets focused as soon as I finish typing Lo (doesn't necessarily have to be 2 keystrokes). After a sigh, I click on the last character and try to add g, but the editor has already lost her focus again.

It happens sometimes and only when the Documentation window is active. For the rest of the time, the code completion shows first as expected and then the documentation window gets updated without a focus robbery.

Am I the only one suffering from this?

Answer 1

I found a workaround.

• Place the cursor on an any meaningful token such as a variable, class, etc.
• Hit [View] → [Quick Documentation] (Ctrl + Q for me) "several times".

You might see it start to work... which pretty much smells like a bug. :s
