Due to a recent change in the new code view on GitHub (blob navigation cursor addition and possibly a new editor to power the blob view) Sourcegraph browser extension doesn't render the code-intel popovers for this kind of code view.

• The browser extension relies on the blob view markup when defining the hover position (domFunctions.ts).
• With the DOM structure on the screenshot above, all hover events are captured on the texarea element; the element below it (in red rectangular) has pointer-events set to none and thus is not a target for any pointer events. Thus we can't use the latter to define the token position (line and char numbers).
• Setting pointer-events to auto on the container with lines breaks the symbols sidebar.
