Inlay Hints are shown briefly when navigating in peek window

[DanTup]

This came up at Dart-Code/Dart-Code#4436 (comment) and I can reproduce myself.

In Dart we've set inlay hints to offUnlessPressed because they can be noisy with the VS Code's always-on default.

When opening Peek windows, the inlay hints appear briefly then disappear. Then while navigating between references the same happens:

I can repro this using only the mouse, so at no point is the Inlay Hints keybinding held down.

I cannot reproduce. How is offUnlessPressed set?

[DanTup]

It's set using configurationDefaults in the extension's package.json:

(note: it's set only for Dart specifically... I wondered whether the Peek window might start rendering without having its language set? 🤔)

From my personal experience it's not just about the Peek window. I can see the inlay hints blinking when I open a file (but rarely), when I compare a file changes in "source control" tab and so on.

@incendial are you still seeing this? I don't seem to be able to repro now - although I'm on Windows atm, not sure if that makes a difference.

[incendial]

Yes,

Yeah, I can also repro on my Mac. Not sure if it's because my PC is faster I don't see it or if there's some other difference on Windows.

@jrieken can you reproduce this using the setting configured as a configurationDefault as noted above?

EdiT: It only appears on the first click.. although my GIF looks like repeated clicks trigger it, that's just because it's looping the first click.
