title: Selenium IE Webdriver Hovering Over Element flickering
body: <p>My code works perfectly fine in FF but if I try with IE it flicker.<br>
  Below is my code </p>
  
  <pre><code>    WebElement mouseOver= driver.findElement(By.linkText("abc"));
  //I'm finding element by linkText. Selenium find the linktext, Next im using Action class to perform the move. 
      Actions action = new Actions(driver);
      action.moveToElement(mouseOver).build().perform();
      Thread.sleep(1000); 
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Once action move to Element line is trigger it seems it goes thru loop or something mouse is keep going over the linkText "abc". Since it flicker its not able to move to next Element. I'm using thread.sleep as there is other items which suppose to display after it hover to the element usually it takes about 1 sec to appear.<br>
  I checked following <a href="https://code.google.com/p/selenium/wiki/InternetExplorerDriver" rel="nofollow">link</a> , stated </p>
  
  <blockquote>
    <p>The prevailing theory why this occurs is that IE is doing hit-testing
    of some sort during its event loop, which causes it to respond to the
    physical mouse position when the physical cursor is within the window
    bounds.</p>

  <p>Is that mean hover will not work in IE. is there any solution to flickering ?</p>
