At present, the `notifications-tracking-trigger-btn` gives “Tracking” on hover:

As you see in that example, the category is actually set to `Normal`.

The problem with the use of the word “Tracking” is that it is one of the options; therefore, it strongly implies that option is the active one.

It would be better to either:

1. Remove the text on hover _or_

2. Change the text to make it a bit clearer (such as “Tracking level”) _or_

3. Make the text on hover correlate with the chosen selection (if this is possible).
