File name randomly displays on screen even when Finder is closed

When I hover the cursor over certain parts of the screen for too long, a grey box pops up with the name of a file as if I had Finder open and hovered over the name of a file. However, it happens when I don't have Finder open, which is the issue. It's as if Finder detects the cursor through all the other screens.

I figured out that it's the files from Recents folder (even though it'd happen even when I didn't have it open), and when I hid it in Preferences from the sidebar, it just started showing files from Desktop.

It's been an issue for a long time, and no updates have fixed it (currently I have Sonoma 14.3.1). It's infuriating, and I don't know what to do at this point.
