Show Linktext on mousemove

[Jeffrey Massung]

I have never experienced an error like this and I do something similar all the time in my stack. One difference between your code and my code is that I get the linkText like so:

get the linkText of the mouseCharChunk

Instead of using the mouseText. I don't know if there's a difference here in what the engine -should- do, but you may want to try the mouseCharChunk and see if that fixes your problem.
