Problems with quick info hint in 1.96+

[borodinalive]

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

• VS Code Version: 1.96+
• OS Version: Ubuntu 20.04 (Gnome 3.36), Ubuntu 24.04 (Gnome 46)

Steps to Reproduce:
Prerequisite: Text Editor > Hover: Enabled is disabled in the settings

When calling a hint with quick information (CTRL+Q with Intellij Keybindings, or CTRL+K CTRL+I), it used to be possible to press ESC immediately to hide the hint. In versions older than 1.95.3, you must first select this prompt with the mouse, after which you can hide it by ESC.

The latest version where this problem does not exist is 1.95.3.

If you enable Text Editor > Hover: Enabled, the function works as expected: the hint is displayed in manual mode and it is hidden by ESC.

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!

This works for me, what get's printed when you do "F1 > Toggle Keyboard Shortcuts Troubleshooting"

I'm not sure what you were trying to say with that.
In output console I have:

Apart from that, nothing else happens.

What is printed in that troubleshooting view when you hit Esc in the expectation that the hover hides

Looks like no command is available when pressing ESC. Please try with an empty profile (F1 > New Profile)

@aiday-mar I give this back to you. Seems to be something special with the hover
