Comments pop up after 10 seconds

[Jaycee1159]

More than a year ago I posted about a Comments box that pops up over the text after about 10 seconds of placing the cursor in a comment bubble.

This still happens and is driving me crazy. Anyone have a way to stop these popups?

@Jaycee1159 Based on the discussion in the previous thread, a radical work-around might be to increase the line spacing to reduce the density of the comments.

As noted in your older thread, increasing the "Preferred width" of comment balloons will help to a degree. 

You can try reducing the point size of the Comment Text and Balloon Text styles and, as Doug has proposed, you can decrease the line spacing as well.
