When using Ctrl+tab, if the mouse is hovering over a tab box, it will switch to that tab unintentionally

When I use Ctrl+tab to switch between tabs, if my cursor is hovering in the middle of the screen where the tab overlay appears, I will immediately be switched to the tab that it is hovering over. This is annoying when I just want to switch to the next tab in line but instead get switched to a tab 4 tabs down. It would be great if you had to move the mouse before it registers that you want to switch to the tab being hovered over.

Yes this is bothering me too. I made an account here just so I could give this post kudos.
