element-web: hovering over an emoji in the picker should not activate the autocomplete; surely you should have to click on it

Even with “Automatically replace plain text Emoji” option disabled - sometimes text is autoreplaced with smileys instantly on typing.

For example, if I type rooms : text in message textarea - this text is auto replaced to rooms 😁 on typing instantly after pressing : key.

Another example:

open long time : » open long time 😗

@lukebarnard1 I disagree, TBH - not once have I wanted mousing over to replace my input, mostly because the input is the same size as the picker and so I don’t really gain anything from it. I’d much prefer if onMouseOver instead showed a larger preview (sticker-sized?) so I could tell what was being selected.
