The mouse cursor is hidden automagically when keyboard is used to scroll a web page. However, the :hover elements are still activated as if the mouse still were on spot. This is irritating, and requires the user to knock the mouse to a different location for the effect to stop.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Find a :hover-heavy page, e.g. one that uses it in a table
2. Leave mouse somewhere along the page
3. Use the keyboard to scroll
Actual Results:  
Hover gets activated even though the pointing device is nowhere to be seen

Expected Results:  
Scroll normally, without any hover effects.
