Describe the bug

Invalid value when you point the mouse at a variable.

Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. Define a variable or constant and comment it out
2. Redefine the same variable with different value line below
3. Use variable in your app
4. When you point the mouse at a variable, you will see an invalid value

Screenshots or recordings

If applicable, add screenshots or recordings to help explain your problem.

The commented out value is treated as a doc comment (https://tip.golang.org/doc/comment) since it appears directly before a var, which is then included in the hover as additional information. If you don't want it to be included as a doc comment, you can add an empty new line between the comment and a int = 10.

var (
  // a = 50
  //

  a int = 10
)

[scootpl]

I thought that in this particular case the commented variable should not be considered as a doc comment. But it is not a big problem. Thank you.

I noticed this as well, and agree!

This is filed as https://go.dev/issue/58220. I just revamped our hover logic, and will fix this for the next release.
