eclipse, javadoc

I often look at the Javadoc hover that is shown when one hovers the mouse pointer over an element, as in this example for List. However, when there is a warning present, the hover windows shows the warning instead as in this (fictional) example: Imagine I could not fix the warning: Is there a shortcut to force to display the Javadoc hover instead of showing the warning? Please note: I am aware of Shift + F2 - Display javadoc in external browser, I am explicitly asking about the the hover.
