Description

rust-analyzer version: 0.4.2465 (any really)
rustc version: (eg. output of rustc -V) 1.87 (any version)

editor or extension: tried both VSCode and Zed

relevant settings: I have more than one workspace folder open in VSCode (or zed).

If I have more than one rust workspace open in vscode or zed, the size hint you get when you hover a struct doesn't appear. Let's say I have both WorkspaceA and WorkspaceB opened in VSCode (or zed). Hovering an enum definition from workspace A doesn't show the size info.
If I open only one workspace folder (WorkspaceA), size hints for that exact enum appear as expected.

Issue is visible with enum or data structure.

Research direction

Reproduce the issue by opening two Rust workspace folders in VSCode or Zed, then hover an enum or data structure from each workspace and compare the size hints with a single workspace open. Trace the hover handling and workspace selection involved in producing size information; done means size hints appear for definitions in both workspaces.
