Description:
When enable automatic (or manual) context help in Workbench, key information is missing, namely the basic syntax information 

I've attached screenshots showing the correct information in 8.0.17 and the truncated display in 8.0.18

How to repeat:
- Press the button to toggle automatic context help to "on" 
- In the query pane type an SQL keyword like USE or SELECT
- click on the keyword to display the context help in the right pane

Suggested fix:
Restore the correct behavior demonstrated in 8.0.17

I'm still seeing this (more or less) in 8.0.23.   I'm not sure if this is consistent with the earlier versions, but I'm now seeing the grey block with the syntax for the USE command.  I'm still not seeing it for SELECT, UPDATE, and others.
