I want to report a bug on the privilege page on Stack Overflow.

The bug only occurs on Chrome. Below are steps to reproduce:

  1. Access to the privilege page
  2. Hover mouse to right middle of lines as the following image

    screenshot

  3. I saw that the trusted user line gets highlighted, and without moving the mouse the protect questions line was highlighted, and it continued flipping back and forth until I moved my mouse.

This occurs on the latest Chrome under Windows 7 and Ubuntu 12, not on Firefox or IE. And there's the same error for the page on this site.

Note: to easier to reproduce, please use an external mouse to move exactly to right middle of two lines.

    So you mean the highlight changes back and forth without you moving your mouse?

  • Yeah, not sure what you mean. Can you be more specific of the actual issue? As the lines being highlighted from hovering over them is correct behaviour.

  • @TuanDang I'd suggest also providing the exact version # of Chrome that does this. "Latest" version is almost meaningless, especially for browsers that upgrade as much as Chrome or Firefox.

  • Thats what its supposed to do; presumably microscopic movements of your mouse are causing it go change selection

    (Doesn't happen if you actually have those privileges; was able to repro on a site where I don't.)

    This happens to me as well, Chrome 30.0.1599.69 m. It happens even if I do not have my hand on the mouse.

  • @RichardTingle: considering it doesn't happen on the edge between any other items that get highlighted on mouseover, I'd say it's probably not supposed to do it.

  • @Wooble It occurs on privileges that I have not earned yet

    This looks more like a bug with Chrome. The hover effect is done by pretty standard CSS, and it definitely shouldn't be doing that, but there's not really anything Stack Exchange can do to fix it. There's no overlapping and it doesn't change the height, so there's absolutely no reason Chrome should be doing that.

    @animuson I tested the fix and it seems to solve the problem without causing any other issues.

Usually for programming issues you can find your questions already answered on Stack Overflow.

Here's the current CSS:

.privilege-table-row.earned {
    opacity: 0.5;
}

If you add position: relative to the CSS the issue is resolved.

.privilege-table-row.earned {
    opacity: 0.5;
    position: relative;
}
