Description Scott Willis CLA 2021-11-04 12:04:27 EDT
Usability (nuisance) issue:  hovering over a red-underlined word pops up the spell-checker popup as expected.  Then after a few seconds, often just as I am about to click "Add", it redraws at the same window size and adds a thick border with a "Configure Annotation Preferences" icon.  This covers the bottom of the list and adds a scrollbar, even for a list with only 4 entries.  

This turns a click on "Add" into selecting the scrollbar, scrolling, then a click on "Add".

Request:  increase either the initial or the redrawn window size (up to whatever the limit is) to allow space for the bottom border.  Or perhaps a way to move the "Add" option to the first line?

Using Eclipse CDT (Embedded version).

This behavior is called 'enrich', in the preferences > General > Editors > Text Editors, there is an option 'When mouse moved into hover'. The default is 'Enrich after delay', you could change this behavior, but maybe still not what you want.
