Hover tool tip for model selection is annoying - bad UX

Where does the bug appear (feature/product)?

Cursor IDE

Describe the Bug

When you hover to change the model from auto to custom in the IDE’s chat, the tool tip covers the model name itself, making it difficult to navigate quickly from one model to another.

Steps to Reproduce

Just switch from Auto to Custom model and try hovering over the various model options as shown in the video and screenshot.

Expected Behavior

Ideally the hover should only appear if the user is hovering for a longer period of time. Also the position should be on the right side or on the complete left side ( outside the width of the model selection pop over menu.
