How do I turn off the ANNOYING text hover in the flash builder 4 editor

[jord3t]

I love Flash Builder 4, but one thing really bugs me about it: the hover tool tip that pops up when you hover over a class in your code.

I am climbing the walls trying to find a way to disable this content assist text hover.

I don't need it and it is really getting on my nerves because every time I move my cursor over a class, the pop up gets in my way.

There has to be a way to turn this off!!!!

by the way, I see the "Show in text hovers" checkbox in the preferences menu under "ActionScript Code" under "ASDoc comments"

I unchecked that but I still get the tool tips in my code editor

That preference you found only disables the ASDoc content in the tooltip, it does not disable the tooltip itself. The default, non-ASDoc, content shows the signature of the definition. There isn't currently a way to completely disable tooltips. You can file a request at http://bugs.adobe.com/flex.

Strongly agree.  I call this as "Crazy Hover"... Eclipse Java Editor can be configured to disable its Combined Hover (or assign hotkeys). Hope Flash Builder editors can have such configuration also.
