Inline Documentation displays 'Cannot find macro' for List.head()

Question

Inline Documentation (use Ctrl+Q to open it's pop-up) in IntelliJ IDEA (2016.3.4) is having problems when JavaDoc contains variables, like:

/** Selects the first element of this $coll.
 *  $orderDependent
 *  @return  the first element of this $coll.
 *  @throws NoSuchElementException if the $coll is empty.
 */

Instead of parsing these variables it displays: [Cannot find macro: $coll.]. Scala API parses it correctly and changes $coll into iterable collection.

Is there a way to fix this issue in IntelliJ IDEA?

Answer 1

It's a known bug in IntelliJ IDEA Scala plug-in:
