Thanks for your report @Edivad99. It is not clear to me what the problem is. Please provide more details.

The pop-up that opens shows the information that is too squashed

Please provide a detailed description of what you mean by "squashed".

Are there specific parts of the tooltip that seem "squashed" to you? If so, which parts?

Please describe some specific changes that would cause it to seem less "squashed".

Please describe the exact problems that cause it to be difficult to read.

By squashed I mean that there is little space between the writing and that the words touch the gray lines.

• In "class String" the writing touches the gray line
• In "// In Stream" the writing is too attached to the line
• The word "instance-method readString" takes up a lot of space
• The fourth rectangle is a duplication of the information I have in the third rectangle

Thanks!

I am also a little bothered by this. I mentioned it in passing in #21

• The word "instance-method readString" takes up a lot of space

This is tracked here: #21

The fourth rectangle is a duplication of the information I have in the third rectangle

Which board do you have selected in the Tools > Board menu in the Arduino IDE? I don't have this part when I did a quick check with the Uno selected:

In the end, I think the comment I made here will apply to both this and #21:

#21 (comment)

This formatting is coming from the clangd C++ language server that provides this information to the Arduino IDE, and perhaps some from the Eclipse Theia IDE framework the IDE is built on or even the VS Code application Theia takes some of its design from.

None of those projects are maintained by Arduino and I'm not sure whether anything can be done to improve on it from inside the Arduino IDE codebase hosted in this repo.

If you pass the word readString over it and press command, the fourth rectangle appears
