Description
From @zavr-1 on July 18, 2018 20:25
In the newer version, I can only see the type of an argument which is an object, compared to how it was expanded in the previous versions.

It was actually very useful to see all properties on hover which served as a documentation.

I think if you hide the details of the type, you should also provide means to expand its properties via a UI, or provide a setting for it.

Research direction
No file or test is named. Start by reproducing the hover for an object-typed argument in the newer version and compare it with the earlier expanded display shown in the screenshots; done means properties can be expanded in the UI or a setting provides equivalent control.
