IDEal - New BB IDE - New version

I found a small bug with the function describer thingy...

When you type in a function, a popup comes up with the parameters that you can pass to it as well as showing at the bottom of the screen. When the function has many parameters, or parameters with long names, the boxes do not scroll to show what the variable you are currently typing in is:

Function hi(a_long_variable_name=600,another_long_variable_name=800,yet_another_long_variable_name=1000,one_more_to_be_certain=30,you_cant_see_me)
	Print "hi"
End Function

hi(6,4,1,2,3)     ;when put the cursor on the "3", the boxes do not show anything highlighted red, or even the variable name.

This is a drastic example, but I first encountered it in the function for JFK's sunbeam code (the createsunbeams function):

; CSP Demo: Hitman 2 like "Sunbeams-in-dusty-air" Effect. This Function takes a Texture and creates
; sunbeams based on the images colors, using a lowpoly method.

; CreateSunbeams() usage:
;texpath$ ; used texture-file
;transp=40 ; beams transparency (0 to 255)
;numsurfx#= number of vertical beam-quads
;numsurfy#= number of horizontal beam-quads
;zoom#=1.0 ; used to create a cone-shaped projection. this can be used 
;            only when no vertical beam-quads are used
;height# ; this will define the angle the "sun" shines down, eg. -1.0
;lenght#=5 ; this will define the lenght of the beams
;vertical_on=1 ; this will turn on/off vertical quads
;horizontal_on=1 ; this will turn on/off horizontal quads
