Guys, I'm sorry.
It seems I saved the patch to /tmp so it got deleted after shutting
down my computer (my /tmp is a ram disk) or I deleted the file by
accident. I just don't have it anymore and I don't have time until
next week to write it again. We are planning the release for Sunday
which probably won't happen but I try to make it on Monday or Tuesday.

So, if anyone is bored feel free to fix it. It's basically about
checking the current cursor position against the start and end position
of the argument list (i.e. the surrounding braces) of the shown
calltip.

Alternatively, we can maybe disable the code which is causing this
behaviour for the release. IIRC it's only one line and currently it's
more annoying than it helps.

Sorry,
Enrico
