Description

You were right vikunja/frontend#2767 (comment)

When you open the list view, it immediately expands. If you try to mark a task "done", on mousedown it will hide, and on mouseup the checkbox you were trying to click will go from under your cursor, resulting in task not getting marked as "done". ANGERY

Possible solutions:

Show it only as the user starts typing and don't ever hide it (or only if there is a good opportunity.
Always show it.

I think that would work. Do you want to send a PR?

@dpschen since you introduced that change, what do you think?

I can understand the anger. Sorry for that :D.
How about the following: we create an info icon that is clickable and displays the info in a popup.

I'm a little not up to speed with composition API, but I can try, a little later maybe.

Sounds reasonable too. Although fewer people would see it then, I think.
