+1 on the idea this will improving the ux.

There might be a conflict with current behavior, right now hover on a category button show the native browser tooltip with a full description.

###Option 1  
Make the parent category portion show the category hierarchy in the native tooltip, leaving the subcategory as is with the category description

###Option 2  
this option is less snappy then option1, is not perfect but I like it as a concept
