In the Intellij Settings I activated Editor > General > Show quick documentation on mouse move and I like it. But when there is a warning message also shown as popup when the mouse hovers over, then the documentation popup just hides the warning like this:
Well, that's not nice. Is there a way to solve that?
The are a couple of alternatives to displaying the quick documentation as a popup:
Display the quick documentation in a separate panel.
Display the quick documentation in a floating window.
To display the quick documentation in a separate panel:
Position the mouse so that the quick documentation popup is displayed.
Click the Options icon in the bottom right of the popup.
Select Open as a Tool Window from the drop down menu.
After doing that the quick documentation popup is displayed in a panel on the right. It is still automatically updated as you move the mouse.
Alternatively, to display the quick documentation as a floating window:
Click the Options icon in the top right corner of the panel.
Select Windowed Mode from the drop down menu.
After doing that the quick documentation is shown as a floating window which you can position wherever you want. You could even place it on another screen if you have multiple screens. Again the content is still automatically updated as you move the mouse.
Select Open as a Popup from the Options drop down menu on the panel or the floating window (or press CTL/Q) to revert to using a popup for the quick documentation.
The best choice is a matter of personal taste, but both of those approaches would solve your overlapping popups problem.
Update:
The previous screen shots were produced using IDEA Ultimate 2018.1 EAP. With Ultimate 2017.3 it seems that the situation is slightly different. After clicking the Options icon, only a control to adjust the font is shown. In that case click the Pin icon in the top right of the window:
After doing that click the Options icon in the top right of the window to see the menu options:

I would like the bar on the bottom with Found usages to cover whole screen width i.e. to hide area with Select usage to preview text on it. Could you tell me how to obtain that?
Hover over >> symbol on left side panel of that tool window (or make the tool window taller for the moment) and then disable the "Preview Usages" option:
how can we dock the java-doc window to the IntelliJ IDE?
There is no Docked mode in the window-popup like explained in the IDE help
e.g. it should be like the Structure, Messages, Version Control tool Window.
Yes, there is something wrong with this window: by default it shows up in your face, preventing you from getting any work done, and it is not immediately obvious how to dismiss it. A programmer's first encounter with this window tends to be a rather bad user experience.
The way I dismiss it is as follows:
Click on the gray gear menu (the one at the top, not the blue one right below it)
Uncheck Floating mode. It will then obtain a "Docked Mode" option.
Move it to any side you like; it will then stay there.
While at the System Browser I can switch between panes and buttons using alt+tab and arrows, but once I'm at the "method editing" pane I can't go out of it using keyboard shortcuts. Is there a way to do so?
This is a well-known issue. KeyMapping is being overhauled. You can add your own for the moment.
Take a look at the class side of AbstractNautilusUI
you can switch the focus to the other panels:
cmd+g+c focus class list
cmd+g+p focus package list
cmd+g+m focus method list
cmd+g+t focus protocol list
cmd+g+s focus source code panel
in the window menu (little arrow icon on the title pane) is a menu entry

I am new in MAC OS X development, I have to align text centre in nsMenuItem but I not find any particular solution. I checked on google but not find any tutorial.
Find some tutorial but not exactly same, in these tutorial we take a NSView in nsMenuItem and then Insert subview in NSVIEW to accomplish it centre align.
Is there is any better solution? Please provide me link if possible.
Edit : I attached screen shot, but this is not working for me.
Thanks
You can set the Attributed String of the menu item, which does allow you to center the text, as well as change the font, color and size of the text as well.
I do not know which version of Xcode/OSX you are using, but under Xcode 5.0.2 you can use the built-in interface builder to edit the attributed strings of menu items.
Click the MainMenu.xib entry, then click the menu you want to edit to open it, then click the menu entry. On the right side of the window there should be some options, if not click the right most square in the group of 3 at the top right of the Xcode window 1.
Once you have the right panel open click the Attributes Inspector icon [2] (4th from the left, looks like a slider type icon). At the bottom of the list of attributes you will see an entry for "Attrib. Title" [3].
That is where you can set a custom font, color and alignment for your menu item.
If you need more control then that provides, you can also embed custom NSViews into your menus which gives you complete control over how the menu will look.
I am trying to get a permanent view of breakpoints (or at least lasting until I remove it) docked next to the Debugger panel. E.g. I would like it to take place of Watches, since I do not use watches much. Currently, viewing breakpoints is done by clicking the small double circle icon in the Debugger but that pops a new large window that occupies most of the screen. I would like a small and permanent view of breakpoints (just like the one in Eclipse).
If you open up the Favorites tool window (Alt+2) you will see the breakpoints.
You cannot put this window inside the Debug tool window but you can have it docked above or beneath (or anywhere you want).
Like this:
Or like this:
The last image shows the Debug window docked with the Split Mode Off while the Favorites window has Split Mode On
CTRL + SHIFT + F8 works for me
IDEA 2017.1.3 allows breakpoints to be edited (e.g enabled/disabled) from the Favourites window (right click, Edit breakpoint).
