We finally migrated from VS2013 to VS2015. When debugging, mousing over a variable within a With block doesn't give the popup of the value like it did in VS2013.
Is there some setting that will make it work again?

This is not a coding question, this is a problem I frequently encounter in the Visual Studio IDE. My mouse clicks are often ignored if I work fast. Usually it happens when I click on a variable name, the studio starts loading a tooltip or a highlighter for that variable and I immediately click on another variable or any other place in the editor window - the click will be ignored. Has anyone experienced anything like this?
This started happening around 2 years ago, don't remember exactly when, but it was right after a new version of the Studio was released.
Previously if I set a breakpoint in a cshtml file I could hover over a variable and Visual Studio would tell me the value.
Now when I hover a variable in cshtml, it just tells me the type... And I have to individually Shift+F9 (quickwatch) on every variable I want to see the value of.
How do I get back the hover showing the value?
Is the a change in a recent Visual Studio update? I'm using 15.7.3
I've already tried resetting to default settings, and still get the issue
Turns out it was a bug in Visual Studio Community
Fixed in Visual Studio Community 15.7.5
See first item in release notes:

When a code block is auto-generated in Visual Studio as result of a suggestion...
...we are automatically prompted to type inside a little red box, like this:
But inside that red little box intellisense doesn't work! Is there a way to fix this? It's rather annoying.
I remember some time ago I could assign a variable in Immediate Window during debug and when hovering mouse over I could see a tooltip with member values just like when hovering over variables in the code.
Now this feature stopped working in my Visual Studio 2015. Did Microsoft remove this feature in VS2015 or I messed something up? Is there a setting for this somewhere in the menus?
EDIT: Because not everyone is so sure about this feature ever existing, I add a screenshot from Visual Studio 2012 where you can clearly see the tooltips for text typed in Immediate Window (here I use the variable web):
Update:
I test it in different VS version(VS2012/VS2013/VS2015/VS2017), it really has this issue in VS2015 or VS2017. But it has this feature in VS2012 or VS2013.
I report this issue to the product team here:

If possible, you could also share your comment there.
When debugging in Visual Studio 2013, I have a variable that is around 130MB, and hovering over it even by accident causes my entire environment to freeze and I have to restart the debugging.
I want to disable the auto-evaluation on hover (even if it forces me to use watches to peek a value), but couldn't find it anywhere in the settings.
Is there a way to disable this?
