Hover does not work on Safari

Since last big Safari update on my MacBook I experience the following problem: Safari does not recognise that I hover over links, buttons or other active elements. Previously cursor turned into the hand and the element changed in color (or did something similar depending on the website). Now cursor does nothing. It is especially inconvenient while working in Google Tables as it becomes completely impossible to change the size of the columns or work with websites where the information was provided by the cursor hover on the graphs/dropdown lists/etc.

Restart of the browser helps only only for the firs opened tab.

Does anyone have the same issue?
