Overlapping States
(Edit: I see that other people have already suggested this, but I wanted to throw this out there anyway for anyone new to the thread.)
There may be a workaround using custom states. I was having the same issue when using Storyline's built-in states (hover, down, visited, etc.) and created a custom state with a trigger to simulate the built-in state I wanted.
Ex: The Normal state was overlapping the Hover state
My steps:
1. Create a new state by typing in a name different from the built-in options (Ex: Object Custom State)
2. Edit the custom state as desired
3. Create a trigger with the "Change state of" Action (In my case: "Change state of Object to Object Custom State when the user hovers over Object")
4. Select the "Restore previous state when the user hovers out" option
This showed no overlapping in Edit or Preview Mode
