SUMMARY
I would like to be able to choose with some configuration switch whether what I see in the information panel relates to the selected item or the hovered item in the main frame.

Right now, it is always related to the hovered item. I find it very annoying, but I do realise that it may be the best behaviour for some other people.

Having the choice might thus be a way to make both sides happy.

This option is already implemented. Right click the information panel and un-select show item on hover. Unfortunately this UI is a bit hard to discover..

Thanks a lot! 
Indeed I never noticed it there. Plus, the French translation is a bit ambiguous so the functionality is not obvious.
