That's a good point about it being right next to the gear button

@Tyriar What do you mean by click feedback? Does the mouse pointer changing it for you?

@sandy081 left mouse flashes the icon brighter briefly, right mouse makes the icon bright until released (see the white/grey color if different in the screenshot above).

Yeah I observe it but I do not see where this change is coming from. Looks to me very subtle. Mouse gesture does not show pointer on this which is the main feedback.

clicking it could open a quick pick to sync again?

Enabling it hides the icon which might not be expected behaviour for the button. I think we shall either make it a toggle button or leave it as it is now.

I prefer current approach - indicating the state using icon which is not new.

If we're not wanting to make this clickable then we should disable the pointer events on this item and make it strictly an indicator.

If we want this to be clickable, we could surface a confirmation dialog asking the user if they want to sync that extension.

If we're not wanting to make this clickable then we should disable the pointer events on this item and make it strictly an indicator.

Agreed. 👍

Removed pointer events on disabled icons in extensions view.

This change was reverted as it is causing hovers not to be shown - #99105

Not sure how important it is to not to have click feedback instead of having an hover. Hence keeping this closed as won't fix. If there is another way to fix it please let me know I am open to reopen it.

Fixed by b9833bb

Removed the sync ignored icon from the action bar and moved into the the extension header (first row) as detail. In extension editor, made the sync ignored icon a dropdown action to toggle syncing extension.
