Maya2017sp4 - premature 'Syntax errors' in Script Editor

[Anonymous]

When 'Show Toolitip Help' is checked in Script Editor - Maya floods user with 'syntax error like' messages while typing:

or this:

IMHO instead - maya just should not show tooltip if there is nothing that it can show tooltip for.

BTW: Maya's script editor is probably the only one that deletes code when executing 😉

More descriptive tooltips for 2 execute buttons might be 'execute' and 'execute and delete'

Hi!

I can not reproduce the problem.

Please try a reset of your preferences.
Rename the folder prefs in folder 2018 to something like prefs_backup, or to reset everything, the folder 2018 to 2018_backup (or even the maya folder to maya_backup). Maya creates new folders (don't copy preferences from previous Maya versions). Detailed at:

Works the same on 2 different machines. Probably 'object path completition' needs to be checked too
