Describe the bug
In the IDE editor, moving the mouse over a variable or function I see a flash on the screen. It appears on different places depending on ..... I guess the window size and configuration. Not 100% sure where it will be on the screen.

It appears to be a help popup for whatever the mouse is hovering over. It is so fast one cannot even perceive the contents. But through the amazing :) technology of video screen capture I was able to grab an image. See below highlighted in orange.

To Reproduce
In the editor simply move the mouse over a variable and watch the screen closely.

Expected behavior
Either no "flash" OR the popup there long enough to read it OR the popup there while you hold the mouse in that spot.

Desktop (please complete the following information):

    BTW it happened on beta 9 and beta10. I realized both 9 and 10 were installed at the same time. So I uninstalled both and deleted all traces of things Arduino (files, appdata, registry).
    Then installed the above mentioned nightly.

Additional context
Add any other context about the problem here.

I also witness this. Seems to be the same as #386
That bug is known since may.

Furthermore i guess it is connected to the tooltips messed up positioning. Often the tooltips are either over the cursor or at the end of the screen.

I am able to reproduce this with Arduino IDE 2.0.0-beta.11. It occurs under the following conditions:

  • The bottom panel is open
  • The hover location is near the bottom panel

I am not able to reproduce this in Arduino IDE 2.0.0-beta.12 so I'm closing it as resolved. If anyone is still experiencing this bug when using the latest version of Arduino IDE 2.x, please comment here and I'll investigate.

I have a similar suspicion about the cause to what what voiced by wohltat, and so I think it was related to arduino/arduino-language-server#68. The timing of the fix for that issue (arduino/arduino-language-server#81) is right, having occurred between the time of the Arduino IDE 2.0.0-beta.11 and 2.0.0-beta.12 releases.
