Why do I not see the function hints when I have a whitespace between the function name and the parenthesis in MATLAB 7.7 (R2008b)?

I want to see function syntax hints even if I have a whitespace between the function name and the parenthesis as shown below:

The ability to see function hints when there is a whitespace between the function name and the parenthesis is not available in MATLAB 7.7 (R2008b). This is depicted in the two images below.

To work around this issue, avoid a whitespace between the function name and the parenthesis.

Further, this enhancement has been included in all the releases from MATLAB 7.8 (R2009a) as shown below.
