PhpStorm monitor in portrait orientation and hints view
I use PhpStorm 2019.3.3 and have my monitor rotated so it's now in portrait mode. Although when I type something, type hints appear randomly on the screen (not under the line I type like when my monitor is in landscape mode).
Please see below gif as it shows the issue. Sometimes it also shows only horizontal line instead and I can't see type hints at all.
Is there any setting in PhpStorm to adjust this?

There's no way to adjust it, but it should work right away unless it's a bug.
Could you please submit the logs bundle (Help | Compress Logs and Show in…) within a support ticket? Thank you!
I am having the exact same problem in GoLand version 2020.2.2. Pretty unfortunate as we are paying a ton of $ for this product.
If I keep the terminal pane open, adjusted to a specific height, the issue goes away. I dual monitor setup, one in portrait 27" 4K, and the other in landscape 32" 4k.
Very frustrating and a huge time waster.
Do you have a Linux-based installation by the chance?
If this is the case, there are some similar reports on YouTrack:

Yes, and the work around suggested by your team does not fix my issue.
Please leave a comment with a workaround test result in that ticket, it will help devs to find the real solution faster.
Currently there is no work around for this issue. Further to that "find in path" no longer works either the search string gets padded with extra spaces for some reason. This is very frustrating.
Reviving this old issue to say I found a possible work around. I have 3 monitors with two portrait and one landscape. JetBrains software (PyCharm, PHPStorm & WebStorm) were all rendering pop up menus too low. However, not all the time?! I realized there was a cut off “height” where they would line up.
On a wild guess, I wondered if they were taking the height of the “lowest” monitor and saying “render no popups higher than this height”. Indeed, I have my landscape monitor centered, but when I moved it up so the top of all monitors were all the same “height", the problem went away.
Here's my monitors in the Display settings as I normally have them and the red lines and arrow showing where they should all align on the top to fix the problem:
Now of course I have to deal with my monitors not aligning as I expect them too!
Can't upload a video, but here's an animated gif showing the fix I mentioned in my prior comment:
