Pressing Win+Shift hides context views in status bar #328328

Description

@adonisbiju

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

Steps To Reproduce:

  1. Hover over an item in the bottom status bar (e.g. Copilot), so that the context view shows
  2. Press Win+Shift
  3. Observe that the context view disappears. Also observe that context views no longer show while still holding Win+Shift

This makes it hard to take screenshots of the context views (e.g. my Copilot budget) with Win+Shift+S. I have to use prt sc as a workaround.
Note that this is not just Copilot item, it's all items, even the basic Ln x, Cl x item.
