I am using IntelliJ IDEA (2016.3) linux version for Java development. As shown in the image below when the mouse pointer hover over an error line, the error message is overlapped by the javadoc making it harder to read the given error message. How to fix this?. Thanks in advance

From the main menu, select Tools | Generate JavaDoc. In the dialog that opens, select a scope — a set of files or directories for which you want to generate the reference, and set the output directory where the generated documentation will be placed.
To locate the Javadoc, browse to your User folder (on Windows 7 this is C:\Users\*Username*), then browse to sunspotfrcsdk/doc/javadoc. Double click on the index. html file to open it in your default webbrowser.
Create JSDoc commentsPosition the caret before the declaration of the method/function or field to document, type the opening block comment /** , and press Enter . IntelliJ IDEA generates a JSDoc comment with a list of parameters ( @param ) and return values ( @returns ), where applicable.
Javadoc (originally cased JavaDoc) is a documentation generator created by Sun Microsystems for the Java language (now owned by Oracle Corporation) for generating API documentation in HTML format from Java source code.
I use 2017.1.3 EAP on Win10 and it is the same. Seems like a bug. There are several workarounds:
Set time delay for documentation popup to a higher value. This should give you more time to read the error message. (Settings -> Editor -> General -> Show quick documentation on mouse move).
Set a cursor at the code with the error and you will see a duplicated error message in the status bar.

You can also have the documentation in a fixed spot by clicking the pin in the top right corner of the pop-up. The window will then always be there, but it does update on mouse-overs and it is not over the warning- and errormessages anymore.
