Thanks for reporting! What should be show instead? I am not sure if we can handle this properly. Probably, we could do Type... and show more on hover, but that would be a feature request.

Thanks, I have the same idea in my mind, should we set a default limit like 10 and it will be stripped if longer than that? which file are relevant for this?

tgodzik commented 7 months ago

This will be done via InlayHints, so probably some files related to https://github.com/scalameta/metals/pull/5983

This might be a bit complex though.
