[Solved] Editor code completion popup listbox  is too narrow

I recently upgraded to the latest laz client and I’m wondering if I
did the right thing.

When I’m using the editor , the popup list for auto completion is Too
narrow to show some of the longer procedures and functions

Is there a way to make it wider ?
It is truncating things and I can’t see the last part of what I’m
selecting

There seems to be a wide gap of blank space  between the descriptor
and the procedure names .

This is odd, I'm pretty sure there was UI configuration for that.
However, you can just tweak your lazarus configuration file:
environmentoptions.xml

Code: XML  [Select][+][-]window.onload = function(){var x1 =
document.getElementById("main_content_section"); if (x1) { var x =
document.getElementsByClassName("geshi");for (var i = 0; i      
<CompletionWindowOptions>        <Width Value="320"/>     
</CompletionWindowOptions> You can change "Value" to whatever is
appropriate for your display

Thanks , that fixed it.i had to quit Lazarus First  to prevent change
From being erased.

Do does anyone know how to change the colors inside the completion
window ? It seems to be highlighting in read but I can’t find anything
for color in the environmentoptions.xml file

There is also the hatched corner at the bottom right. Click and drag
on it, changes the size.
