It's not a bug, it's a feature. :) What you're seeing is an unfortunate side effect of a hack that was introduced in the IE driver to attempt to solve the problem where hovers were not persisted if the physical mouse cursor was within the boundaries of the IE window.
To work around the problem, you have two choices, both involving setting capabilities on the driver when you create it. First, you can revert to the previous behavior by setting the "enablePersistentHover" capability to false. This will stop the flickering as you describe. Second, you could use simulated JavaScript mouse events instead of so-called "native events" by setting the "nativeEvents" capability to false. Obviously, these are exclusive approaches to one another, and shouldn't be used together.

Convenience is something that we can never be fully satisfied with. This is why software developers are always made to push their limits for bringing a better user experience, without compromising the functionality. All for the sake of saving the churn in today’s competitive business. People are greedy for convenience and this is why Hybrid applications have been so congenial in the cyber world.
With the introduction of Angular JS, Google brought a paradigm shift in the world of web development. Gone were the days when static web pages consumed a lot of resources and resulted in a website that is slower to load and with each click on a button, resulting in a tiring page reload sequence. Dynamic single page websites or one page website became the new trend where with each user action, only the content of the page changed, sparing the user from experiencing a website full of slower page loads.
Developed in 2004 by Thoughtworks for internal usage, Selenium is a widely used tool for automated testing of web applications. Initially, Selenium IDE(Integrated Development Environment) was being used by multiple organizations and testers worldwide, benefits of automation testing with Selenium saved a lot of time and effort. The major downside of automation testing with Selenium IDE was that it would only work with Firefox. To resolve the issue, Selenium RC(Remote Control) was used which enabled Selenium to support automated cross browser testing.
Ever-since the introduction of World Wide Web in 1990, the domain of web development has evolved dynamically from web pages to web applications. End users no longer browse web pages for reading static content. Websites now have dynamic features to increase their engagement rate. Interactive websites are being developed using which users can perform their day to day activities like shopping for groceries, banking, paying taxes, etc. However, these applications are developed by human beings, and mistakes are supposed to happen. Often a simple mistake can impact a critical functionality in your website that will lead the user to move away to a different website, reducing your profit and SERP ranking. In this article, we shall discuss the common mistakes made by developers while developing a web application.
