is there a way to turn off the mouse over in the widget sidebar. Seems to be some sort of distortion I tried a bit of css (below) with no luck and Hover effect for all tables? is no. see attached pic. TY!
does not seem to happen with different theme.

div.mp_mini_cart_item-content *:hover {
pointer-events: none !important;
}

It has to do with the CSS from your shopping cart plugin. The following selector and rule is causing the issue:

.mp_mini_cart_item-link:hover {
background-color:#eee
}
