Mouse-over help hides functions pallet search

[ColdenR]

When searching for functions in the functions pallet (or the controls pallet), I instinctively begin typing my search terms immediately after I click on on the search button, thus leaving my mouse in the location it was when I clicked on "search". The sequence is shown below:

The problem here is that if I use the search function naturally, I can't see my search text as I'm typing (or after I've typed it). Obviously I can avoid this problem by moving my mouse after clicking "search", but that's a less intuitive way to use the search feature. The LabVIEW overall experience could be improved if this mouse-over context help popped up somewhere other than on top of the search text (or not at all).

I guess you referring to the tip strip that appears, right?

My experience on this is different: The tip strip only appears if the mouse moves a little bit after pressing the search button. If the mouse stays exactly on the same position, it won't appear at all!

Yeah, I'm talking about the tip strip.

On further testing, I see the same behavior that you're talking about. If I click the search button carefully, my mouse doesn't move and the tip strip doesn't show up. But I guess I naturally move the mouse slightly after clicking on the button and before transitioning to the keyboard.
