Hi! Just to clarify what you are reporting, are you unable to get the signature help popup to display (with the possible signature overloads). Or, is the signature help popup displaying, but without any documentation text?

Thanks for clarifying. I can definitely repro that. FWIW, I see documentation text a bit inconsistently. For example, I don't see it on String.Format(...) or new Exception(...), but I do see it for Console.WriteLine(...). I'm betting this is related to #1551.

It seems related. The comment:

@terrajobst, @richlander: Poking around a bit, it appears that the NETStandard.Library packages don't appear to contain XML documentation like, say, the ASP.NET packages do, which means that users don't get documentation on hover or completion in VS Code for core types and members. Is there are plan to start including documentation so that users get a good experience?

Seems to apply, but I have no knowledge of the current state of the application to see what has changed in the mean time.

[DustinCampbell]

I'd like to look at this separately. It seems like it might be the same, but I'd rather keep this around.

[DustinCampbell]

Again, I'd really like to keep this issue open so we can track it separately. Thanks!

@csanthoshi This is the C# extension repo, so your problem is not related to this issue. You want to ask on the GitHub for the Ruby VS Code extension. I would also generally suggest against commenting on closed issues unless you are pretty sure the issues are related.
