[Vim 9.0 added virtual text](vim/vim#7553) By default it seems LSP diagnostics are using it, but unfortunately the virtual text is displayed in line with the buffer (causing the vertical text to move) instead of a popup window or something else. When used with e.g. vim-go this causes a pretty constant flux of changes in the buffer space while doing simple edits which is very annoying and difficult to use (imo). Seting `lsp_diagnostics_virtual_text_enabled = 0` restores the behavior of vim 8.2 where the diagnostics information is displayed in the vim `command line` area.
