Description esperluette08 2023-05-29 02:27:21 UTC 
SUMMARY
In Kickoff, the hovering effect doesn't follow the current mouse cursor position when scrolling.

Since it doesn't affect the tooltip but only the hovering effect, and clicking starts the correct application (under the mouse cursor), it's only a visual bug.


STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Open Kickoff
2. Go to All Applications (or anywhere with a list of enough applications)
3. Place mouse cursor on application list
4. Scroll without moving the mouse

OBSERVED RESULT
The hovering effect doesn't follow the mouse cursor but the mouse position before scrolling

EXPECTED RESULT
The hovering effect should follow the mouse cursor when scrolling, just as if the mouse cursor is moved

This is actually intentional; we got many complaints about the requested behavior, especially in the case when Kickoff appeared in such a manner that the cursor was below a category that just appeared. So I think we have to keep it the way it is right now.
