Module name codelens suggestion always present (with flickering)

[azuzunaga]

The codelens hint at the top of the editor always suggests a module name if the existing module name doesn't match the dir/filename structure. However, the hint collapses and is displayed again while typing, making the editor scroll up and down the screen.

Is there a way to turn module name hints off? It is possible to disable all codelens hints via the settings, but I'd like to preserve the other hints.

Here is a screen recording demonstrating the jumping around:

Hi thanks for opening the issue. There is a way to disable plugins but it still is not documented (#1433). To disable the module name plugin you can add the following json snippet where your editor put the lsp configuration (in vscode .vscode/settings.js)

haskell.plugin.moduleName.globalOn": false

@jneira this sounds like a bug in the module plugin though. I'm not totally sure why it wants to rename the module (seems dubious to me), but it should definitely not flicker as the code goes in/out of parsing, but should be using the last stale correct value to base its suggestions on.

yeah, you are right, the code lens should be stable

@jneira, thanks for the quick response! Adding the setting did the trick. Appreciate the help.

@azuzunaga thank you for trying and confirming it works, i am gonna let this open to track the solution of the disturbing flickering
