A couple of suggestions:

I found that instead of doing 'element.hover' that doing
'element.fire_event('onmouseover') was more effective.  I thought I had an
example in a repo but I can't seem to find it.

Alternately, if you send some action like a click or a downarrow to the
element, that should bring the element into view so .hover could work.
