When I hover over an error marker in a Java editor, I get a popup that says "Press 'F2' for focus", and when pressing F2 I get a resizable version of the popup dialog, such that I can read the whole text.
I've noticed, on the other hand, that when I get an XML error, e.g. in pom.xml, (using the m2e lemminx extension) and I hover over it I get a fixed-size dialog such that I can't read the complete error text. E.g., if I type an invalid element name to trigger an XSD validation error, I can't read the full set of allowed elements, for example.
I'd paste a screenshot but I don't know how to do a screen capture without causing the popup to disappear in the meantime.
I'm just guessing this is an lsp4e issue, though I realize it's possible it is rather (or also) an issue w/ Lemminx and/or WWD XML.
The problem here is easily worked around. I can click on the marker in the column to the right-hand-side of the editor window and get a popup I can click on and resize to read the whole text. Here is the workaround (you can see I just typed an invalid <a/> element in a pom.xml:
WORKAROUND SCREENSHOT
To reiterate, hovering over the marker on the right-column gives the good dialog. Hovering over the marker inline within the editor source (row 13 col 2 here) gives the bad popup.
ENVIRONMENT
Besides the latest 4.30 the issue seems to exist on a couple other random recent releases I tried
If you knew this workaround, this would be a real minor issue. But if it's an easy change to switch the popup dialog type that'd be a nice small improvement.
