What exactly do you call an obvious UI deficiency?

If hover state is locked on mousedown, there should be another fast and reliable way for checking which element is actually under the mouse cursor (or in the chain of parents of that element).I did not find another way, feel free to point me in the right direction if there is one.

Hover state would be perfect for that if only it represented the actual hovered state, not the locked one.
Any suggestions how to do that?
I think it would be pointless to add another flag for the real hover state just because there already is a broken one. Why not fix the current hover state flag? As I already pointed out, it does make hover state consistent with other browsers.
