After last Chrome update .realHover() does not work anymore in cypress;

Version 100.0.4896.60 (Official Build) (64-bit)

I don't see anything new in the Input.dispatchMouseEvent docs that would indicate that we need to send some new properties or something: https://chromedevtools.github.io/devtools-protocol/tot/Input/#method-dispatchMouseEvent

A further investigation is required here - it would be great if the community could help out here. In the past I had luck in fixing some issues by comparing what this library does and what Playwright does under the hood: https://github.com/microsoft/playwright/blob/4f1ab2fa6271ae419a95ac1e29130b5c90b78c44/packages/playwright-core/src/server/chromium/crInput.ts#L99

I've also observed realHover no longer working, but in our case it's after trying to upgrade to Cypress 10 (but leaving the chrome version fixed at 99.0.4844.84).

We've bumped the version of this library accordingly and don't have any build errors, but the hover is no longer doing anything.

Did you try to update z-index?

      cy.get('<selector>')
        .invoke('attr', 'style', 'z-index: 99999;').realHover();

Closing this until we have any reasonable reproduction
