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 :)

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.
