popup balloons obscure the code

Answered

It is too often the case that the helpful popup balloons which IntelliJ provides, makes it difficult to see the code.

Here is a simple example.  There is an error in the code which I'm trying to fix,  but the blue popup balloon makes it impossible for me to see the matching opinion {.   Is there some way that IntelliJ could figure out a saner place to put the messages.  I don't want to turn them off, because their content is often helpful.  But their placement is usually unfortunate.

Thanks for the comment about disabling popups.  However, as I stated in the OP, I don't want them disabled, because they or often helpful.  I just don't want them to impede the editing.    They should be placed somewhere, which allows the user to see what he's editing.

You can always trigger the popup using Alt+Enter when needed.
