Description
What version of the Codex App are you using (From “About Codex” dialog)?
Version 26.818.61809
What subscription do you have?
Pro
What platform is your computer?
macOS
What issue are you seeing?
App sometimes jarringly shows hover popups when I haven't moved the mouse. This is annoying.
What steps can reproduce the bug?
When the mouse is over the rollout, and the scroll changes moving a file that has a diff, the popup gets displayed.
What is the expected behavior?
Hover popups should only trigger after a mouse move and an intentional pause.

Additional information
This is a simple papercut that cuts out some janky UX.

Research direction
No files or tests are named in the issue. Start by reproducing the behavior with the mouse over a rollout while scrolling a file with a diff, then trace the Codex App's hover-popup entry point and its mouse or scroll event handling. Done means popups appear only after mouse movement followed by an intentional pause, without appearing solely because scrolling changed the content.
