JetBrains Rider large tool-tip appearing - tooltip

I have a problem with a tool-tip that appears it seems as a helper for function/method parameters, it takes up a large amount of the screen and can only be turned off by clicking enter, which is causing a large annoyance.
Does anyone know how do I turn this off permanently?

You can change it by toggling the following setting:
File | Settings | Editor | General | Code Completion | Show the parameter info popup

Is it possible to have the Design/Form window open while the Code/Unit window is open? [duplicate]

I program in Delphi 2010, and I have enough screen space to show both a form and its code (that is, the code and design tabs of a form) at the same time, but so far I haven't had any luck trying to make that happen. Is there a way to customize the IDE to show both at the same time?
Set your desktop to "Classic Undocked"
Then you need to uncheck the embedded designer option in the VCL Designer options page:
You'll also have to restart the IDE for those changes to take effect.
The option Andreas is talking about is located under Tools | Options | Environment options | VCL Designer. It is called Embedded designer.
When you uncheck that a form will be displayed free-floating at its designed position instead of embedded in the docked editor. You need to restart the IDE for the option to take effect.
To show both form and code you will have to change your layout and/or move the form to a position where it doesn't cover the code editor.
As an alternative you could opt for the classic undocked layout. That way you can certainly position form and code editor not to overlap. To activate that you need View | Desktops | Classic Undocked.
Note: be aware that the position of the form at designtime is reflected at run-time if you have a form's Position property set to poDesigned.
Cool hack for Delphi XE4-XE7:
Changing 'HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Embarcadero\BDS\11.0\Form Design\Embedded Designer' to FALSE will bring the classic designed back.

PhpStorm Ellipsis Popup is Hiding Text Input

I am using PhpStorm 2018.1. I am not sure what this ellipsis popup is for and when it comes up it hides what I am typing behind it. Is there any way to disable it?
Known issue, WEB-14542.
As a workaround, please try disabling Show the parameter info popup in Settings | Editor | General | Code completion

Can I have the build dialog in the center of the screen?

Ever since Delphi XE2 (or even before) the build dialog appears in the bottom right corner of the screen.
Because I'm a curious fellow I'd like to see what's going on.
But that's hard when it's way there in a corner.
If I move the dialog to the correct centered position the IDE does not register/remember this and keeps on putting in in the corner every time it compiles.
Is there a way/hack to make this dialog appear in the center of the screen?
You have enabled background compilation: Tools | Options | Environment Options | Background compilation.
The designers presumed that you did that because you did not want the compilation progress to disturb you, and stop you being able to see the editor window. The whole point of background compilation is for you to be able to carry on working in the IDE whilst compilation progresses. If the dialog was shown in the middle of the IDE window then you would not be able to see what you were working on.
If you disable background compilation then the dialog will appear in the centre of the monitor.

Xcode 5.1 method search only allows one character?

I've recently upgraded to Xcode 5.1 and I'm experiencing the most annoying bug. The instant search or method search dialog that allows you to search the methods on the given source file you are looking at isn't allowing me to enter more than one character. I have large source files and I tend to rely on that a lot. Any idea why this might be happening. I've tried re-installing Xcode (simply be dragging it in the trash).
You can find the search field I'm talking about by clicking the method as shown in the screenshot and simply typing something.
When I type the character gets replaced with the last letter entered.
(This one's just informational: I don't think it will fit in a comment, and want to report on what suggestions worked and didn't.)
I ran into this same problem. I accidentally typed some other key combo when trying to do Ctrl+6 to open the Document Items dropdown, and it was all out of whack after that.
As clance_911 mentioned, the filtering would work after clicking in the search box. So for example, to filter for "init", I could hit Ctrl+6 to open the Document Items, type "i" to start filtering (but then any subsequent letters would replace the i), click into the search text box, and continue typing the "nit". This works, but it's a pain.
As Moze pointed out, this seems to be specific to external displays. Sure enough, it worked fine on my MacBook display, but if I moved Xcode over to the external display, it stopped working. In my case, dragging the menu bar in the display Arrangements settings (to make the external monitor the main display) did solve the problem: the filter worked correctly with Xcode in either window. Sorry, Etienne :-(
The other solution that worked for me was simply closing the MacBook: use it in clamshell mode with only the external display. This is my normal setup anyway, but I know that's not ideal for everyone.
It happens if Xcode is open in external display that is not main display.
To fix it, open display setting's Arrangement tab and drag menu bar to display that you are working on.

Testing for the presence of jQuery UI modal dialog or alternative on page

I was wondering how you can test for the presence of a jQuery UI modal dialog with Selenium.
I have done some Google searching but nothing is abundantly clear. although this page suggested isVisible():
http://groups.google.com/group/selenium-test-tool/browse_thread/thread/6affc0ef45a1d4a6?pli=1
I would also require to test elements on the dialog and navigate back to the page that the dialog was initiated from.
Thanks in advance.
I've worked on something similar in the past.
Assuming the modal is contained in a div, I'd start with a 'WaitForVisible' on that to wait until the modal is acutally showing.
Then you can interact with the elements in the normal way, and then have a 'WaitForNotVisible' once you've finished with it.
If there isn't a convenient containing div, just pick some other element on the modal to wait for.
The following works with the demo JQuery UI modal dialog at http://jqueryui.com/demos/dialog/
open | http://jqueryui.com/demos/dialog/
click | css=#demo-config-menu a:contains(Modal dialog)
waitForVisible | dialog-modal
assertText | ui-dialog-title-dialog-modal | Basic modal dialog
assertText | dialog-modal | Adding the modal overlay screen makes the dialog look more prominent because it dims out the page content.
click | css=.ui-dialog-titlebar-close
waitForNotVisible | dialog-modal
<tr>
<td>waitForTextPresent</td>
<td>Selecione os produtos para impressão</td>
<td></td>
You can use this to check dialog by the title
