@mbien moving mouse straight up works most of the time. If popup is large and spans both to the right and to the left of your variable in the editor sometimes it does not work for me as well. And I need to repeat. And you can really view only primitive property values in popup. If it is an issuance of the class - most of the time you need click "expand" icon to see individual properties. And this is tricky with current behavior. Different IDEs handle this differently: * Eclipse has popup which hides automatically when you remove mouse focus from variable and popup opens "expanded" by default * For vscode there is inline value and popup is also expanded by default and hides automatically<img width="1402" height="655" alt="vscode-debug" src="https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/5dc2f06c-8549-4d07-80ec-aa22f4ba9f39"; /> * For idea popup is not expanded by default and it does not hide automatically - you need to click "outside" to hide popup. So depending on what behavior your prefer you may call it "workaround" or not. As for me - behavior identical to idea is absolutely fine and I do not consider this as a workaround. But how we call it - this is not that important as for me. There are screen recording and you can see that current behavior is not ideal. And even recommendation to move mouse straight up is also not ideal as for me - sometimes popup is positioned to the right of the cursor and moving it straight up is really not obvious. I'd really like to have some improvement here and any approach which will improve this is very welcomed as for me. -- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
