Hover help draws the hover above the IDE's dock, whose resizer and drop targets took the mouse from a hover reaching past the code editor and hid it

File the IDE bug twinbasic/twinbasic#2506: the dock's resizer takes the mouse from a hover reaching past the code editor and hides it (ide-test lane hover-past-editor)

The help add-in draws every hover above the IDE's dock, hover help on or off, until twinbasic/twinbasic#2506 is fixed

The help pane detaches into a window of the add-in's own, a Form holding a WebView2, for another monitor; Attach or closing it brings it back (probe lane detach, P19)

The detached help window draws one title bar in the style of a tool window's header, its X hides it, and the IDE's Show real OS titlebar option gives it a dark or light Windows caption instead

A maximized help window fills its monitor's work area exactly, and its WebView2 always fills the client area: the window procedure sizes the control and answers WM_GETMINMAXINFO and WM_NCCALCSIZE
