Description
Describe the bug
All over the UI gaps between click zones
trigger a hover-over effect, where it shouldn't occur.
This effectively causes flickering and makes the UI seem very sluggish.
To Reproduce
See Video:
https://github.com/musescore/MuseScore/assets/78870770/63cc63de-ae21-4470-890c-4129995869a2
Also note:
Expanding an instrument triggers the hover-over effect for its staves without hovering over them,
which doesn't seem right to me.
Expected behavior / Proposal
Optimize click zones by filling gaps, for example:

Research direction
Start by reproducing the flickering described in the attached video on the MuseScore desktop UI, including expanding an instrument and moving across gaps between click zones. Trace the affected hover and click-zone behavior from the reproduced interaction. Done means gaps no longer trigger hover effects and expanding an instrument does not hover its staves unexpectedly.
