Problem Description

The popup for function signatures/help is displayed too close to the characters in the command line. This applies to the editor window and the console window. Please see https://1drv.ms/u/s!Al47hEfk4PCSjKoMd5gKDDkz9bCJZw?e=GLWS96 for a screenshot.

I have installed Spyder 4.1.3 on two computers (both running the latest version of Windows 10 Home), with the Spyder screen resolution set to ‘enable auto high DPI scaling’. Both computers have this issue. The issue goes away by setting the screen resolution to ‘normal’ , but fonts/icons of this setting are too small for effective use on high-DPI screens.

What steps reproduce the problem?

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?

That image comes from the Editor and this bug is about the console. So for next time, please open a new issue about your problem instead of commenting in another one you don’t understand very well.

To hide calltips in the editor, please to

Tools > Preferences > Completion and linting >  Introspection

and deactivate the option called Show calltips.
