Description
## Information
**VIM version**
> NVIM v0.7.2
Build type: Release
LuaJIT 2.1.0-beta3
Operating System: Pop!_os 22.04
## What went wrong
After a recent Neovim plugins update, I use Vimplug, ALE stopped producing floating windows for linting issues and started just outputting the linting message as what looks like code comments.

I originally was on Neovim 0.6.1 when the issue started, and so I tried using the Neovim PPA and upgrading to Neovim 0.7.2 but that had no affect. I was able to get those "comments" not to show by disabling the `g:ale_virtualtext_cursor` setting, however the floating window still no longer shows and all I get is information in the status line.
I tried adding the following to my Neovim configuration as well to try and resolve the issue:
```
let g:ale_floating_preview = 1
let g:ale_floating_window_border = []
let g:ale_hover_to_floating_preview = 1
let g:ale_detail_to_floating_preview = 1
let g:ale_echo_cursor = 1
```
## Reproducing the bug
1. Upgraded ALE.
2. Neovim floating windows stopped working and "comments" started showing up.
