Describe the bug
One of the nice new features about the IDE is the helpful hover popups for errors and definitions. Unfortunately the definition popups are not placed well. More often than not the cover the item you are hovering, and with the hoover duration so short you cannot select or right click on items due to a popup covering it entirely. This happens more often at the top of a sketch.
Other times it flashes the disappears before it can be read, this tends to happen when there is no room below it at the bottom of a sketch
The placement of ones showing undeclared errors are always in the same place and work `well.

To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:

  1. Go to any large sketch
  2. Hover over function calls or macros at top and bottom of the sketch
  3. popup will cover content or disappear

Expected behavior
Popup with either show directly above or directly below depending on where it will fit

Hi @toogooda. Thanks for taking the time to submit an issue.

I see we already have a prior issue report about this at arduino/arduino-language-server#68 (once the language server is fixed the hover hover behavior in the IDE should be automatically fixed without any need to modify the code base here).

It's best to have only a single issue per subject so we can consolidate all relevant discussion to one place, so I'll go ahead and close this in favor of the other.

If you end up with additional information to share, feel free to comment in the other thread.
