Hover getting automatically disabled in VSCode

Question

Since few days, the hover popup in my VSCode gets disabled automatically for the current user. Basically, the property @id:editor.hover.enabled hover is unset for User, but remains checked for Workspace.

Anyone of you started facing this issue recently?

These are the list of extensions I'm using:

    albert.TabOut
    amazonwebservices.aws-toolkit-vscode
    BrijeshBumrela.bhailang-extension
    cweijan.vscode-database-client2
    cweijan.vscode-office
    dbaeumer.vscode-eslint
    donjayamanne.typescript-notebook
    eamodio.gitlens
    GrapeCity.gc-excelviewer
    jsayol.firebase-explorer
    kevinglasson.cornflakes-linter
    mintlify.document
    ms-azuretools.vscode-docker

    ms-python.vscode-pylance
    ms-toolsai.jupyter
    ms-toolsai.jupyter-keymap

    ms-vscode-remote.remote-containers
    ms-vscode.cpptools
    ms-vscode.vscode-typescript-next
    natqe.reload

    vscjava.vscode-java-pack
    vscjava.vscode-java-test
    vscjava.vscode-lombok
    vscjava.vscode-maven

I tried setting the key manually and it works, but couldn't figure out why it gets unset in the first place. Have done enough google search, but none reported this issue

The root cause has been identified here: https://github.com/microsoft/vscode/issues/165988#issuecomment-1329367779

It's caused by AWS Toolkit (CodeWhisperer). Have cut an issue with them to get it fixed: https://github.com/aws/aws-toolkit-vscode/issues/3014

Will update once the fix is rolled out by them

Update: The issue is fixed as of AWSToolkit 1.60.0
