Show tooltip bellow the mouse cursor, instead of above it
See original GitHub issue- VSCode Version: 1.14.1
- OS Version: Windows 10 build 15063
Help tool tip should be placed bellow the mouse cursor on the settings.json file, instead of above item. For me it is horribly confusing putting it above it, beyond blocking my vision, as I read what is above my mouse cursor, not bellow it. Perhaps a setting to configure this behavior.
- The mouse cursor is where the big red arrow is pointing.
Steps to Reproduce:
- Open the
settings.json - Place the cursor in of of the settings
Reproduces without extensions: Yes/No

I completely agree. This is annoying as hell. Blocks my view of the code lines above. I need to see those. I don’t care what is below. Having to move the cursor away just so that I can see what I have written above is poor UX
VS code is awesome, thanks to the contributors for all your work!
That said,these tool tips are driving me nuts! I’ve never been bothered by intellisense before, and I actually rely on it, so I don’t want to turn it off. Like most other people have said, showing tips above the line makes it hard to tell what I’m doing.
