Description

When mousing over any part of a paragraph after a citation, the citation window pops up, blocking view of the paragraph and making it difficult to write. In the screenshot, I had just moved my mouse to edit the last sentence, but now I can't see most of the sentence. These very useful popups would be even better if they only appeared when mousing over the citation itself.

Quarto 1.4.549
vscode 1.87.0
macOS 14.3.1, M3

Research direction

Start by locating the VS Code extension's citation hover handling and reproduce the behavior described with Quarto 1.4.549 and VS Code 1.87.0. Done means the citation window appears when mousing over the citation itself, but not over other text in the paragraph.
