"Show error" hover persists across multiple files with Editor > Hover: Enabled unchecked

[perdomon]

Does this issue occur when all extensions are disabled?: Yes

• VS Code Version: 1.96.4 (Universal)
• OS Version: Sequoia 15.1.1

Steps to Reproduce:

1. Disable hover (Settings -> uncheck Editor> Hover: Enabled
2. Find an orange or red underlined code error, and use the keyboard shortcut to show more info CMD+K, CMD+I
3. Try to close the hover with the escape key
4. Try to close the hover by navigating to another file tab

The only way to close the hover is to select it with the mouse or same keyboard shortcut, then press escape.

Expected behavior: The hover should disappear when the cursor moves, the tab changes, or the escape button is pressed. This behavior should be independent of the status of Hover: Enabled.

Below, the hover appears as intended when the key combination is pressed (CMD+K, CMD+i; or g h in Vim mode). This occurs regardless of the status of the Hover: Enabled setting:

The hover no longer disappears when pressing ESC, moving the cursor, or changing files. Here, you can see a Dart-related hover superimposed over a JSON file:

Thanks for creating this issue! It looks like you may be using an old version of VS Code, the latest stable release is 1.96.4. Please try upgrading to the latest version and checking whether this issue remains.

Happy Coding!

@vs-code-engineering I've updated my software, disabled all extensions, and confirmed that the issue still exists. I edited my original post to reflect the new version number.
