Description
### Expected Behavior
When switching the environment within a gRPC request (e.g., from Dev to Test), hovering over the “grpcUrl” variable displays the actual value from the environment in the tooltip.
### Actual Behavior
When switching the environment within a gRPC request (e.g., from Dev to Test), hovering over the “grpcUrl” variable still displays the old value from the previous environment in the tooltip. Clicking the variable shows the correct value for the selected environment (Edit Variable Dialog). After closing and reopening the request, the displayed value is correct again.
### Reproduction Steps
1. Open a gRPC Request
2. Switch to a different environment
3. Hover over a variable to view the tooltip
4. The value from the previous environment is displayed
(This behavior can only be reproduced intermittently.)

Contributor guide
Research direction
Start by reproducing the issue in a gRPC request while switching environments, then trace the variable tooltip and environment-selection paths. Confirm that the tooltip updates to the selected environment's value immediately, without needing to reopen the request.
