Visual Studio Quick Info covers screen and makes it unusable for certain classes in New Input System

As the title says, the Quick Info has serious problems with certain classes. I guess it’s debatable if it’s a problem with the quick info feature itself (in these egregious cases, maybe it should have a max height and scroll?), or with the comments on some specific classes. Here is an example of what I’m trying to say.

Take a look at this snippet:

When I try to hover over InputDevice this happens:

Notice that InputDevice is totally covered and I’m unable to click on it due to the “Quick Info” getting in the way. I can’t even read the whole thing because it overflows the top and bottom of my monitor.

This is a very annoying behavior that is specific to a few classes in the New Input System as far as I’ve seen.
InputAction also is facing this to a lesser extend. PlayerInput is also over the top as well.

I appreciate the devs are trying to be helpful with robust examples, but surely it’s clear that there is a better way to do this, right? Am I the only one who has been annoyed by this?

One more Visual Studio fail. :frowning:

Rider does not have this issue. It really is just a matter of how thoughtful the IDE is being developed. Any user provided text might be too long, so as developer you expect that and cap that string and insert a „more…“ indicator for good measure. It‘s baffling to me how little care for the little things goes into VS, it‘s not rocket science.

Could you please use Send Feedback / Report a problem in VS, so we can track this ?

Thank you!
