Windows 10/64
I was waiting for a program to upload and I noticed a flashing on my screen. I eventually found it happened when the the mouse pointer was over a variable.
I'm guessing it should be there long enough for at least Evelyn Woods to read it.

Hi @JohnRob you can submit a bug report to the Arduino IDE 2.x issue tracker to bring it to the attention of the IDE's developers:https://github.com/arduino/arduino-ide/issues/new?assignees=&labels=type%3A+bug&template=bug_report.md&title=
JohnRob 's bug report (now fixed):
opened 04:22PM - 19 Aug 21 UTC
closed 01:55PM - 22 Oct 21 UTC
conclusion: resolved
topic: code
type: imperfection
topic: language server
**Describe the bug**
In the IDE editor, moving the mouse over a variable or fun… ction I see a flash on the screen. It appears on different places depending on ..... I guess the window size and configuration. Not 100% sure where it will be on the screen.
It appears to be a help popup for whatever the mouse is hovering over. It is so fast one cannot even perceive the contents. But through the amazing :) technology of video screen capture I was able to grab an image. See below highlighted in orange.
**To Reproduce**
In the editor simply move the mouse over a variable and watch the screen closely.
**Expected behavior**
Either no "flash" OR the popup there long enough to read it OR the popup there while you hold the mouse in that spot.
**Screenshots**
**Desktop (please complete the following information):**
- OS: [Windows10 / 64]
BTW it happened on beta 9 and beta10. I realized both 9 and 10 were installed at the same time. So I uninstalled both and deleted all traces of things Arduino (files, appdata, registry).
Then installed the above mentioned nightly.
**Additional context**
Add any other context about the problem here.
Thanks so much for your report!
