Annoying hint box in JetBrain IDE's


When I'm coding in JetBrains IDE's I get frustrated when I want to fix the code and hint box popup block my view where the vital information is few lines below my coding line. The popup blocks 1/4 of all horizontal space on my screen. I don't like this.

Is it possible to make popup transparent so that I can see what is few lines below my editing line even when there is code hinting?

I don't accept answers that are not refering to transperency. And I don't want manualy start the hint popup!
