Just wanted to mention that a last resort workaround could be to try javascript mouse over simulation.

Try this?

// this makes sure the element is visible before you try to do anything
// for slow loading pages
WebDriverWait wait = new WebDriverWait(driver, TimeSpan.FromSeconds(10));
var element = wait.Until(ExpectedConditions.ElementIsVisible(By.Id(elementId)));

Actions action  = new Actions(driver);
action.MoveToElement(element).Perform();
