Description:
Just today I've noticed that I need to enable hints in object inspector for too long property names and values in the popup menu.
As I'm using Delphi 2007 at work I've noticed a small difference between how Lazarus displays the hint and how Delphi does. I'm not talking about Delphi compatibilty here, but about the look.
Delphi displays the hint for a property or value directly above the cell which place is too small instead of below it. That is way more intuitive in my opinion (and looks more nice as well ^^).
For the extended hint window that is displayed after some time, I'd keep the position below the cell, but for the "short time" hint I'd place them directly on the cell.
