Extension hover is often dismissed too early
Testing #223090
The hover widget of the extension is often dismissed too early and making it hard to move cursor to the hover widget and click on the links.

From the recording above you can see that I only get it working 1 out of 3 times.
This is because you hover the scroll bar which dismisses it, currently you need to hold alt to lock the hover.
@sandy081 consider adding the showHoverHint option:

We can also remove this hideOnHover requirement which I think will be needed to get this to work in your case:
https://github.com/microsoft/vscode/blob/b4eb7c94495e25b5dc968a4d3a723346e27f48a3/src/vs/editor/browser/services/hoverService/hoverWidget.ts#L225
@Tyriar It seems this option showHoverHint is not available for setupManagedHover

@sandy081 will merge https://github.com/microsoft/vscode/pull/223765 after we branch off

Another case for scm view. @Tyriar does your fix cover this too?
@rebornix there you're hovering an element with a different hover which is why it's dismissed, related but different case and i think we're acting as designed there.
@Tyriar in the recording I was attempting to move cursor into the hover so I can click on the button in the rich hover. It seems we don't have a large enough "hit area" in general and the hover is easily dismissed.
Still seeing this. If there's a scrollbar like below I can't move the cursor to the hover without it getting dismissed:
Holding alt works
Fix here is to show the hint to Hold Alt and it seems not to be shown.
@Tyriar I have set the flag showHoverHint while showing the hover and it is still not shown.
