Tooltip doc window disappears for no reason
Answered
I changed the setting to make my tooltip show on mouse hover. That part works fine.
But my tooltip window shows up for a while, then just disappears, and this happens with I take my hands off the mouse and keyboard and remain mouse-hovered on a ~method.
I tried updating to the latest version (below) and it seemed to fix it for a day, but now again it's back. Of course, it's no fun to have the words disappear as you're reading them.
Any thoughts/fix?

Are you referring to the quick documentation window? Is that the same problem as described at https://stackoverflow.com/questions/60959630/how-to-increase-timeout-of-hover-doc-in-intellij ?
Serge Baranov Yup, just like that.
Liubov, will do, thanks.

Could you please check if the issue occurs with 2020 RC: https://www.jetbrains.com/idea/nextversion ?
I updated to the version below. I am not seeing the issue currently. If it shows up again, I'll comment here. Thanks!!

I have also seen this problem for a while.
I started to search for the solution and when searching, I realized that the time the tooltips remains in PyCharm (around a second) behaves in the exact same way in Firefox!
I am running Linux mint and changed to Windows 10 that I seldom use. I installed PyCharm and the problem went away!
I have seen that many have the problem in Windows 10. Maybe try if the problem is the same in Firefox when hovering over a link for example?
I will search the problem in Linux.
