Source Editor hints not using yellow TurboPowerIPro hint for non-codetool hint

  • Lazarus/FPC Version: v3.99 (and possibly prior versions as well)
  • Operating System: Windows 7 SP1
  • CPU / Bitness: 64 bit

What happens

the hint window does not always use the yellow TurboPowerIPro color

What did you expect

all the hints to appear in one color instead of sometimes in yellow and sometimes in grey.

Steps to reproduce

One occasion (there are more) that causes the window to be grey instead of yellow is when the field or variable name hovered upon starts with the "&" character. Therefore, to reproduce, declare a variable whose name starts with an "&" then hover over it to see it value while debugging the program.
