Hover State On Menu Buttons Stays On When Returning to the Slide

A lot of things contribute to this problem. One is that the built-in Hover state takes precedence over any other state. That means that no matter what state the object is in, it will change to Hover when the mouse is over it.

But, if you have a jump trigger attached to clicking the object, it will jump, and the object will never sense the mouse leaving it - because it doesn't. Then when you revisit that page, if the slide is set to remember previous state, the object will be in the Hover state until the mouse leaves it. Like you have noticed, the mouse can't leave until it first enters.

If you could set the slide to return to initial state on revisit, it would solve the problem with the Hover state, but then the object wouldn't be in Visited state,

I would try creating a custom state to take the place, but you can't name it Hover. Create a trigger to change it to Custom_Hover when hovered over. Create one to change it to Normal when it is clicked, and one to jump when clicked. The change state must be in the list before the jump, or it won't be executed. Leave the Visited state, and it should show on return.
