My mother has that problem. it comes from years of anticipating and prediciting what people are going to say and it is a habit but non-threatening.

Moving the lips while others are talking could be a sign of subvocalization, where a person silently repeats the words they are hearing in order to better understand or process the information. It could also be due to a habit or a way to stay engaged in the conversation.
