Description

### Description

When I consider reading a room my hands move the cursor over the name so the unread count gets hidden. Then I'm no longer sure I'm pointing at the right room.

### Steps to reproduce

- Look at room list.
- Consider reading a room with an unread count.
- Point to the room.
- The unread count vanishes, causing me to wonder if I'm pointing at the room I intended.
- Move the cursor off the room to check the count, then back on to select.

When I point at something the information content should stay the same or increase, not decrease. When pointing at a room I should still see the unread count.

Research direction

Reproduce the issue in the web room list using Firefox on Ubuntu, as described, and inspect the hover behavior for rooms with unread counts. The change is complete when hovering a room no longer hides its unread count and the room remains identifiable before selection. No source file or test is named, so locate the room-list UI entry point and its existing hover tests first.
