Hover getting disabled automatically by AWS Tookit

Problem

Since few days, the hover popup in my VSCode gets disabled automatically for the current user. Basically, the property @id:editor.hover.enabled is unset for User, but remains checked for Workspace

Steps to reproduce the issue

I have not been able to pinpoint what triggers this issue, but know the code that’s causing it.

Refer this VSCode github issue to understand the exact issue: https://github.com/microsoft/vscode/issues/165988

The root cause was identified by one of their Principal Software Engineering Managers (Alexandru Dima): https://github.com/aws/aws-toolkit-vscode/blob/6b8d0d63b9481e4a61708e47df2dd44d89e268ee/src/codewhisperer/util/hoverConfigUtil.ts#L9-L37

As per the code, you guys seem to be doing a workaround for inline completions, which is having a bug.

Expected behavior

The hover functionality should not get auto-disabled

If there is a bug indeed, we would appreciate if you could file an issue in the VS Code repo!
