Works for me

Strange because it works OK for me. I have tried with several different IDE positions and sizes.

Unfortunately, I cannot reproduce the issue.

Comment 4 Jiri Prox 2015-08-05 12:23:13 UTC

I can reproduce it.
It happens to me when the cursor is at the bottom part of the editor (which is at the bottom of the screen) so the documentation window won't match into the space between cursor position and the bottom of the screen.

I believe this happens when there isn't enough space in the IDE window to fit both Suggestion and JavaDoc window.
For the first screenshot of the issue attached, as we can see there isn't enough space (particularly height height) to place the documentation window next to the suggestion window.
I investigated this issue from different scenarios, and I think NB is functioning correctly.
