I suppose that's meant, if you're in the note input mode, before entering a note that you'll see the pitch (and so on) in the status bar by moving the mouse (similar as you can see the preview of the note via a blue note).
I do like the idea, but the current behavior where the selected note (normally the one just entered, and in any case the one that will be affected by many commands) is displayed in the status bar is also useful. I could see the pitch of the "shadow note" (the internal term for the note that appears as a mouse cursor) being displayed in addition, perhaps. But really, if you are thinking in terms of pitch names in the first place, why use the mouse at all rather than just typing the notes in?

What do you mean by candidate? MuseScore can't guess what note you're entering next
Existing notes are named in the status bar
