Description Marc Khouzam CLA 2016-05-16 15:25:27 EDT 
The dashboard has a hover to allow users to see truncated strings such as the subject of the review.

I'm imagining a scenario where the user is looking for a review by scrolling from one entry to the other, looking at the hover.  In such a case, the delay between each hover is annoying.  It would be nicer that once the hover is opened, there would be no delay for updating the content of that hover, for another entry.

I believe this is the usual way to handle hovers.  For example, if I hover over editor titles, the first hover will take a second to pop-up, but when I move my mouse to other editor titles, the hover updates immediately.

Note that hovers are working by default on windows. I'm not sure how far we should go to implement a missing OS feature.
