Colour picker's sticky hover doesn't work when hover is disabled

[starball5]

Does this issue occur when all extensions are disabled?: Yes

• VS Code Version: 1.77.2
• OS Version: Ubuntu 22.04.1

Steps to Reproduce:

1. Put "editor.hover.enabled": false in settings.json, and ensure "editor.hover.sticky" is either not set (default is true), or is set explicitly to true.
2. Write anything that creates a colour decoration, such as a color property in a CSS style rule.
3. Click the colour decoration to cause the colour picker hover to open.
4. Move the mouse off of the decoration an onto the opened hover.
5. Observe that the open hover closes once the mouse touches it.

I also observe that if one uses the Show or Focus Hover command instead with these settings, the mouse can enter the opened hover area just fine without it auto-closing.

I’m sorry I can’t be on the computer at all times and I don’t get these emails till the end of the day when I’m doing my settle down task and sometimes I get hung up and sidetracked for the hour. Apologize if you can help me get my stuff back on track. I would greatly appreciate it. What do I need to do for some reason? My phone is not active at the moment I’m trying to troubleshoot that as well I don’t know what happened. It is an older phone.

I think that the color picker should be activated by clicking the color decorator and closed manually rather than when the mouse leaves the color picker. The current behavior is unintuitive to me, and this issue (along with a general lack of configurability in this area as noted by other issues) prevents me from implementing my preference of behavior.

The color picker shouldn't close automatically if the user has interacted with it at all, whether that's through clicking the color decorator or by changing the color. The latter issue is covered by #33568.
