mouseMove

Moves the mouse to the center of the element WITHOUT clicking.

This method dispatches only a mouseMoved event to trigger hover/mouseover effects. The mouse position changes but no click occurs.

When to use:

• Triggering hover effects (tooltips, dropdown menus on hover, etc.)

• Simulating mouse movement without interaction

• Testing mouseover/mouseenter event handlers

When NOT to use:

• If you need to click the element, use click or mouseClick instead

The position is retrieved atomically to prevent race conditions where the element could be detached or moved between getting position and dispatching events.
