Autocompletion information box sometimes gets stuck

[anonymous]

With 1.16 i encountered a new problem with OMEdit Text editor, that sometimes the autocompletion information box stays visible and frozen in place.
It is always displayed on top of everything (including other windows), so it can be obstrusive when it happens. It happened a couple of times before, but i have not recognized a pattern yet.

E.g. i typed import SI=Modelica.SIunits; in a new model. While typing "Modelica.S" the selection list of available classes opened like expected. Normally the information box would appear next to it, but in this case the box displayed on top of the list and above the line i was writing in. It also froze in place, not changing (hiding what i was typing).

The info box kept frozen when changing classes, and also when moving OMEdit Window to another monitor.

To get rid of the box i tried closing the original class and changing view to other classes (see screenshot) ​https://abload.de/img/ticketkck4o.jpg , moved window around , minimized etc.
It eventually went away, i think that was when i opened the original class i was typing it again.

This could be a QT bug. You may try with the 1.17.0 nightly build, that is using a more recent version of QT, and see if you still have this issue

Retargeted to 1.18.0 because of 1.17.0 timed release.
