Description:
I use i3. It seems the code completion box does not set the right window hints (which i3 handles properly) and is consequently made fullscreen. With i3, this means it is behind "floating" windows.
It is hard for me to screenshot the issue. The code completion popup is stretched across the entire screen behind all of the IDE windows.
Steps to reproduce:
Run Lazarus under i3 and activate code completion.
Additional information:
Issue could be solved by setting proper window styles on the completion window, indicating it is a popover dialog similar to a file selection window.
Alternatively if the styling is unique enough or if there is a hidden, but set title, most tiling window managers can selectively apply styles to windows to work around issues in other peograms. The best way to deal with this is to change Lazarus.
