How to hide hover tooltips on Spyder 4

Question:

not sure where to ask:

is there a way to not have the help tooltip/popup/hover window opening in spyder?

since updating to 4.0 the window does not close when you change between windows:screenshot of the problem

guess something like this will be reported and delt with in future updates but for now i would be happy to just disable it

(using 64-bit windows-10 machine)

Answers:

(Spyder maintainer here) Yes, there is. You need to go to the menu

Tools > Preferences > Completion and linting > Introspection

and deactivate the option called Enable hover hints.

Note: The issue you posted above with the hover not hiding when giving focus to other applications will be fixed in our next bugfix version (4.1), to be released in a couple of months.
