Tooltips Needs to Stick Around

I do a lot of work with SQL code in the PRE/POST SQL options and when I get an error, it usually returns the entire code and a little bit about what is wrong. These long strings are hard to read in the current tooltip format as if you hover over to see the entire error, the tooltip goes away after 5 seconds. So I am frantically reading through lines of error code 5 seconds at time. Can we make it so the tooltip just hangs out until I move my cursor off of it?

Even better @Treyson would be to add the option to have an error / message output so that you can read the full response codes (as you would if you had this in a query window).

@SeanAdams Yeah that would be ideal actually maybe throw in the option to wrap the text in the message pane? just like a little "wrap text" button. I mean... Excel can do that.

@Treyson- that would be very helpful - the ability to word wrap the error messages in the results window.   That's worthy of its own idea - I'll vote for it!

Thank you for your post!

 

Our development team is making updates to how long the tooltips stick around, which will be available in an upcoming release!

Thanks for the suggestion, Treyson!

 

This has been fixed for the 2020.1 release. I will note that we increased the tool tip display time from 5 seconds to 32 seconds, so it is not infinite but hopefully meets your needs.

 

The release notes for the 2020.1 release are available here.
