    Does latest SVEditor have the Doc Hover feature described on this page:
    http://sourceforge.net/apps/mediawiki/sveditor/index.php?title=SVEditor_Features

    Nothing happens when I hover the mouse over a documented element.

    I also see a new feature request still open, which sounds like the same thing:

    2256739 NewFeature:Comments before each method displayed in tooltip

    The Doc Hover feature is in 0.9.9.  

    Are you aware that the feature uses Natural Docs style comments?   Comments without keywords are ignored by the documentation system.

    I'm just trying it on uvm methods, and they look to have Natural Docs style comments. I'm not seeing anything happen when I hover.

    I would expect docs on hover to work fine for the UVM code.

    It would help to turn on debug logging then hover and see what it says.

          window->preferences->SVEditor          Set "debug" to "medium".

    Also, a full reindex would be a good idea.

    Ok. I resolved it. I was using SVE IDE 1.1, which doesn't have that feature. After updating to SVEditor 0.9.9, I see the hovers now.

    Thank you for the responses.
