Description lmgriggers 2010-08-13 21:55:08 UTC 
Most of the time, when editing a formula in the main text input field, the "help 
tips" appear below the formula being edited and are very helpful.(See 
http://www.griggers.com/misc/Normal_Hints.JPG)

However, about 30% of the time, the help tips jumps up to the same line as the 
formula being entered and completely obscures it where you cannot see what you 
are typing. (See http://www.griggers.com/misc/Obscured_hints.JPG)

The annoying popup can be removed by hitting <esc>, but it reappears as soon as 
you type another character.

The problem does not seem to be related to where in the formula you click to 
begin your edit, nor does it occur all the time. It seems perfectly random.

In this case, can this issue be set as a duplicate of issue 105472? It is a
matter of trying to keep the issues a bit clean.
