Help box isn't showing up

I'm new to Quantopian and as I watch tutorials there are boxes that show up as they type functions that show the parameters and have a link to documentation. For example:

def handle_data(context,data):
hist = data.history(

a box would pop up saying:
"history(asset, fields, bar_count, frequency) get a window of values for the given field(s) and given asset(s). Learn more"

Is there a hotkey or setting for this to show up? I've tried looking it up and can't find anything

I am also new and experiencing the same issue, but only with ".history(". If I use "record(" the help box appears, so it is not a general issue suppressing the help box. The issue seems to only appear on fuctions which have a "." in front of it. I hope that helps your developpers to reproduce the issue (even if my terminology may probably be way off since I am new to Python and Quantopian).
