Mouse-over tooltip for variable dropdowns
« on: August 07, 2014, 07:43:04 PM »
When using global variables, especially with hierarchies, if they're long - you often can't tell what they are without reselecting them. (especially a problem when you're using 'folders' to organise them.

It would be awesome to have a mouse-over tooltip that displays the whole path and variable name, without having to actually navigate via the dropdown.

Would this be possible?

This is quite a common place for me to cause bugs, by selecting the wrong global accidentally, and it not be easy to check quickly.

Or perhaps displayed underneath in the same way as values are when Debug is checked. That box area is much bigger, and would allow you to see longer global paths and var names.
