How about an alternative to the UX like this?

mrstevens, head of catering

Rather than having the rows highlight all over, only highlight when you hover over the emote bar? (Or reduce the area of effect of the row highlight so that it only triggers on the right hand side of the rows) ?

Like this:

    If people wanted stuff to highlight when you mouse over it, someone would have asked. No one asked.

    Congrats on fixing their UI to have the "best of both worlds", or in other words, a "compromise".

    This should be the official implementation, not the crap we have to deal with now.

    Heck, go one step further and have that hover menu popup only when we're near the "..." icon.  We don't need it displayed if our mouse is anywhere over the main chat area, it's nothing but obnoxious and leads to misclicking, a lot.
