React onMouseEnter event triggering on child element

Question

I'm assigning an onMouseEnter event to a parent element but the child is the one being triggered with this event. When I write on the console the e.target, it prints the child. How can I prevent this behavior?

I have tried the e.stopPropagation(), and updating react.

import React, { Component } from 'react';

export default class Menu extends Component {
    menuElement_Click(e) {
        // trigger change
    }

    menuItem_MouseEnter(e) {
        console.log(e.target);
    }

    render() {
        return (
            <div className='menu-container'>
                <div className='menu-item'>
                    <div className='menu-label' to='/'
                        onClick={this.menuElement_Click.bind(this)}>
                        Home
                    </div>
                </div>
                <div className='menu-item' onMouseEnter={this.menuItem_MouseEnter.bind(this)}>
                    <div className='menu-label'>About</div>
                    <div className='sub-menu'>
                        <div className='sub-menu-item' to='/about#story'
                            onClick={this.menuElement_Click.bind(this)}>
                            Story
                        </div>
                        <div className='sub-menu-item' to='/about#more'
                            onClick={this.menuElement_Click.bind(this)}>
                            More
                        </div>
                    </div>
                </div>
            </div>
        )
    }
}

On console it prints

<div className='menu-label'>About</div>

but I need it to be

<div className='menu-item'>...</div>

Use event.currentTarget(e.currentTarget in your case). It always refers to the element to which the event handler has been attached. And about e.target: The target property of the Event interface is a reference to the object that dispatched the event.
