This can happen if your monitor supports higher frame rates than 60 and you have frame skip off, which lets the game run at the monitor's frame rate. This causes flickering issues because the actual update loop is still capped at 60 updates a second (to keep simulation speeds consistent), so sometimes a frame is drawn while the game is still creating the hover text that should be displayed.
