The sessions list hover in the Chat view shows a full rendered conversation preview almost immediately on mouse-over. Because the sessions list sits inside the panel you're actively navigating, the hover fires constantly just from moving the mouse toward a session you want to click.
The issue is specifically the combination of trigger speed and popup size. This isn't a small tooltip..it renders the conversation content in a sizeable overlay, and it often (unsure timing?) appears very quickly. It's super distracting (and obscures my code) when I'm clicking through multiple sessions quickly. I can't seem to find a workaround.
workbench.hover.delay does not affect this. The sessions hover appears to be driven by a separate mechanism in the Copilot Chat extension. I searched and couldn't find another setting to control this. Also couldn't find an issue
What I'd like:
A setting to either disable the sessions hover preview or configure its delay independently — something like chat.viewSessions.hoverDelay, accepting a number of milliseconds or false to disable. Ideally this mirrors the editor.hover.delay / editor.hover.enabled pattern already established for editor hovers.
Use case:
The sessions list is a navigation control. Hovering over it is how you get to clicking it, not a signal that you want a preview. Users who find the preview useful can keep it; users who don't should be able to turn it off without side effects. The feature is cool and useful sometimes, but I'd like to have more control about when it comes up, because most of the time I do not want it.
