This isn't a Java Script issue, it's pure CSS. The on hover the text
moves, causing the hover area to move to, which sudenly places the
mouse outside the hover area, canceling hover, then the area moves
back at which point the mouse is over the hover area again and hover
triggers, and so forth.

It is easy to avoid, and that it's a low chance of happening is not a
reason not to do something about it, the glitching that caused this
100% cpu usage was about the first thing I noticed.
