I'd be curious how these test recorders handle mouseover events (eg: you have a multilevel menu which you hover through). The only way I got this to work was record every mouseover event, which quickly made an enormous brittle test, or just don't test stuff that has mouseover.

Having developed a test recorder, I found out that the best solution was to make mousehover an explicit action (the same as in webdriver). Better to have a robust test than try to do something too fancy.

Screenster like a lot of other tools gives the user an ability to send a mouse over explicitly during the recorder.
In the modern web pages that have to work well with touchscreens mouse over in general is de-emphasized anyway.

selenium has moveto[1] which will move the mouse to an element. you would use it in an action chain.
