Can`t display CallTips for Lua

Hi,

I have been trying to get Sc550.exe to autocomplete Lua functions AND 
display Lua calltips.

As the Sc1.exe has all the default properties files built-in, I have simply 
added to my user settings:

    # Set up call tips
    # 
https://github.com/moltenform/scite-files/blob/main/files/api_files_howto.md
    api.$(file.patterns.lua)=$(SciteDefaultHome)\confSciTE\lua.api
    calltip.$(file.patterns.lua).automatic=1
    calltip.$(file.patterns.lua).end.definition=)
    calltip.$(file.patterns.lua).word.characters=.: 
$(chars.alpha)$(chars.numeric)_
    calltip.$(file.patterns.lua).parameters.start=(
    calltip.$(file.patterns.lua).parameters.end=)
    calltip.$(file.patterns.lua).parameters.separators=,

and later in user settings file:

    # autocomplete.choose.single=1
    # autocomplete.*.fillups=([
    autocomplete.*.start.characters=.:
    autocomplete.*.typesep=!
    autocomplete.*.ignorecase=1
    autocomplete.visible.item.count=30
    # autocomplete.multi=1
    autocompleteword.automatic=0
    autocompleteword.incremental=1


I have a Lua.api file to complete function names (and any changes are 
coming through).

With these settings I get automatic function name completion after the dot, 
but no way to display call tips.

I dimly recall that call tips had problems when the function names contain 
a dot - was this ever fixed? or have I got my configuration wrong?

Using the full distribution (and the older 543 version) did not display 
call tips for Lua with these settings.

Any guidance welcome.

Kind Regards Gavin Holt
