Description

To reproduce:

1. import project from attached archive: [javadoc_hover_bug_reproducer.zip](https://github.com/eclipse-jdt/eclipse.jdt.ui/files/11234772/javadoc_hover_bug_reproducer.zip)
2. Open type `p.P52`.
3. Alternate hover over `P52` and `P1` at line 3, observe that eventually the hover at `P1` has wrong contents.

I ran into the bug with:

```
Eclipse SDK
Version: 2023-06 (4.28)
Build id: I20230404-0600
```

Research direction

Import the attached javadoc_hover_bug_reproducer.zip, open type p.P52, and reproduce the issue by alternating hovers over P52 and P1 at line 3. Trace the JavaDoc hover handling from this reproduction; done means hovering P1 consistently shows P1's correct contents rather than stale contents from P52.
