“Loading…” thing leads to unexpected behavior
video: https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/062b46ed-39b8-47ec-82c9-b9716a24a826
Why it happens
By default the tooltip will change align (top/bottom) if it runs out of space.
Since the cursor dynamically changes the tooltip content & consequently the height of the tooltip, it may no longer fit with align-top.
Therefore, this leads to annoying blinking and the inability to use tooltips at the beginning of the file or when the file is scrolled so that the tooltip does not have enough space with align top.
Reproducing
- Install cspell (streetsidesoftware.code-spell-checker extension)
- Open empty file
- Paste this content

To reproduce - it is important that the default tooltip does have enough space with align top, but at the same time, when “Loading…” appears, it should run out of space.
A quick solution i suggest:
- instead of ugly text based loader (column) make a inline loading circle for example
