Keep in mind, that the webpage developer can have many different things happen when the mouse is hovered above an element. The nouse over announcement just tells you it is programmed to do something. If you press Insert + Control + KeyPad Enter and the page changes, JAWS will tell you at what line it was inserted. It may just change colors or perform some animation. Like others have said, if you make JAWS stop announcing mouse over elements, there may be some materiel, like another navigation menu row that would appear.
