When the mouse button is pressed and dragged out, the mouse event HitTestRequest is explicitly made HitTestRequest::ReadOnly expecting some selection to happen as a result of this drag. So there won't any style change due to hover/active state change at this event.

EventHandler.cpp, EventHandler::handleMouseMoveEvent()

    // Treat mouse move events while the mouse is pressed as "read-only" in prepareMouseEvent
    // if we are allowed to select.
    // This means that :hover and :active freeze in the state they were in when the mouse
    // was pressed, rather than updating for nodes the mouse moves over as you hold the mouse down.
    HitTestRequest::HitTestRequestType hitType = HitTestRequest::MouseMove;
    if (m_mousePressed && m_mouseDownMayStartSelect)
        hitType |= HitTestRequest::ReadOnly;
    if (m_mousePressed)
        hitType |= HitTestRequest::Active;
