Parameter list appears and obscures code view?

I'm not sure what you call this, but when I am completing a function from the std library a hint box pops up and obscures the code I'm trying to write.  This is obviously a part  of the codeblocks intelisense feature but I can't see what I'm doing when it appears.

For example, if I type in the below.

string mystring;

mystring.find( // at this point, when I open the bracket all the parameter hints appear and block out my view from "find( onwards...?   Anyone know how to stop this from happening?  


If I knew what to call it I would look it up.

Thanks

What version of Code::Blocks are you using?  I believe the fix for this was in 12.11, and is definitely in recent nightlies.

I'm using 12.11.  Is there a setting which can stop this?

Alright, then what is this thing called, the parameter hints?
If I knew then I could search for a solution.

Install a nightly build and see if it is fixed. If not please report back with a screen shot and minimal code sample.
