Yes, this is in general a good idea for web sites. I used to get FaceBook and
LikedIn used to be especially bad with showing / hiding items when a mouse
moved over a particular spot, causing slowdowns and lockups. I believe they
don't have that issue now, so perhaps they can detect a screen reader that
moves mouse with focus and disable that hover actions. Especially since
you have discovered a issue and a work around, letting their accessibility team
know the issue would be great!
Best wishes,
