Description
### Apache NetBeans version
Apache NetBeans 16
### What happened
Ctrl+hover shows relevant PHPdoc, but almost always without scrollbars, although strictly needed, and thereby making the functionality nearly useless as half the content is missing necessitating Googling for it instead.
I have, rarely, seen scrollbars - so, they do exist and work when present - but do not have a working example to give currently.
The cut part also exists as you can run your cursor there with arrow keys - however, that does not cause scrolling either.
### How to reproduce
Check for help on any lengthy php function, ex:
```

Research direction
Start by reproducing the issue in the PHP editor with Ctrl-hover on preg_replace_callback() and other lengthy PHP functions. Inspect the documentation popup behavior in cases where a scrollbar appears and where it does not. Done means lengthy PHPdoc is fully readable and keyboard navigation scrolls the hidden content.
