Thread Subject: backward compatibility problem?

Hi,

I have been using an older Matlab version (R2006b), and recently upgraded to R2009a. One thing I noticed different, is that when I am testing my code in a script file (not a function, but just a bunch of cells) and point my mouse pointer to a variable in the editor window, I would *not* have a pop-up "tip" window that shows the value of the variable -- a nice feature that is missing from the R2006b release. I wonder if this is a bug with the new Matlab release, or that there's a setting somewhere that I did not configure properly.

Thanks for your tip for getting back to the nice "tip" feature.
