MATLAB: Does the debugging datatip not disappear after scrolling away using the mouse wheel

Question

Reproduction steps:

1. I opened the BENCH function and placed a breakpoint at a line that comes after a variable has been defined.

2. Using the mouse I then hovered the pointer over the variable name. The datatip comes up.

3. Keeping the mouse still I then use the mouse wheel to scroll down the file.

The datatip does not disappear – it follows the mouse pointer.

Answer 1

The ability to make the datatip disappear while using the mouse scroll wheel is not available in MATLAB.

The only workaround is to move the mouse away before using the scroll wheel.
