VS 2010 Productivity Power Tools Disables XML Documentation on Hover

Question

can someone verify this:

the Visual Studio 2010 Productivity Power Tools extension takes away XML documentation text (on mouseover or intellisense) for types and members, when you enable their "Solution Navigator"?

In other words, when I hover over a class or members, I used to see the xml documentation text (if available) which describes the type/member. After installing the extension, the tooltip was replaced with the Solution Navigator (which is nice, don't get me wrong, but doesn't show the xml docs).

If that's a true assessment, is there a way to allow both to show up?

Answer 1

The Productivity Power Tools Solution Navigator only replaces the XML documentation tooltip if you have "Enable Interactive Tooltips" checked. This menu option is available under Options -> Productivity Power Tools -> Solution Navigator -> Enable Interactive Tooltips. If you want to get your regular documentation tooltip back, just uncheck it.
