Terry J. Reedy <tjre...@udel.edu> added the comment:
Each '(' and ')' in an argument string such as in
f('()(()()((((())))))))))))))') causes a blink. Ditto with a comment withing
the call. A related bug is that any unquoted '(', as when one enters
f((a+b)*c), dismisses the tip.
Proposed partial solution: before displaying a tip, record the opening index
(before the opening '('). When there is an opening index, and '(' is keyed,
ignore it; no parsing. When the tip is closed (properly), removed the open
index. I believe paren matching would work properly.
The cause of blinks for ')' in strings and comments would need to be found and
remedied.
