Description

First off I'd like to say great job on this plugin, it makes working with Typescript in ST3 a joy. On to my issue - I'm able to see error messages in the status bar when I move the cursor to a region with an error prior to this commit:

Merge pull request #562 from Microsoft/hoverErrorTip

Combine error tooltip with quick info

On or after this commit (tested up to the 2.1.0 tag) I no longer see the error message in the status bar when moving the cursor to a region with an error. I do see the error in a tooltip if I hover the mouse over the region. Was the removal of this feature intentional? If so, would you consider adding it back in? I find having the error text in the status bar useful for my workflow, as I rarely use the mouse in ST3. Thanks.

OS: macOS 10.11.6
Sublime version: Build 3126

Research direction

Reproduce the missing status-bar error text in Sublime Text 3, then compare the plugin behavior before and after commit ac15373c6cdb62decb2c296db9916e7a420bb39e. The issue is done when moving the cursor over an error shows its text in the status bar again, while the existing hover tooltip remains available.
