[🚫 Bug] Explanation/Dialog window blocks the option to be picked

[lgrossma]

Describe the bug

When trying to access some element for future work, like InputBox.create(), I assume the extension tester "moves the pointer" to the location of the element and due to the "hovering mouse" over the element, it shows a windows with a dialog that blocks access to the element underneath the window. I was also experiencing similar issue with notifications.

Steps to reproduce

1. Choose some element that shows information when hovering over it with mouse
2. Dialog window shows up when hovering over the element with mouse
3. Try to access element underneath the dialog window
4. Element is unaccessible

In my case it was this code:
inputBox = await InputBox.create();
await inputBox.selectQuickPick(INPUTS.credentialsQuickPick);

Also a note, I experienced this issue on a VM's running on our CI (jenkins/GHA), so it may also be caused by the size of the vscode window?

Hi @lgrossma
I have noticed this same focus issue in Windows 11 OS recently..

@djelinek Could you please clarify whether this issue has something to do with OS. Kindly share your insights or confirmation regarding this.
