Hi Petr, The suggestion is regarding the Ctrl+mouse hover behavior. It currently displays a yellow pop-up with the PHP manual entry for core PHP functions or the PHPDoc for whatever user defined entity that ctrl+hover is executed on. However, big entries are truncated and text is lost/invisible. It would be nice to add scroll bars to that. I know that Ctrl+Shift+Space works better in this case but Ctrl+Hover is very useful and I find myself using it a lot :) Bogdan
The current implementation is based on NbToolTip. The PHP support "just" provide the text, the editor infrastructure is responsible for the displaying. I'm reassigning this to the editor.
The bug is present also in 7.1. Product Version = NetBeans IDE Dev (Build 201109100600) Operating System = Linux version 3.0.0-1-686-pae running on i386 Java; VM; Vendor = 1.6.0_26 Runtime = Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM 20.1-b02
This old bug may not be relevant anymore. If you can still reproduce it in 8.2 development builds please reopen this issue. Thanks for your cooperation, NetBeans IDE 8.2 Release Boss
