A user is also misled into thinking they are going to hit the popover, since the mouse pointer is rested over the yellow-colored area which visually pertains to the popover content, but in fact it is not. 195490 1 timothy 2010-03-03 05:23:42 -0800 I can look at this, I have a version of the popover that works well as a single line. 195493 2 pfeldman 2010-03-03 05:45:45 -0800 (In reply to comment #1) > I can look at this, I have a version of the popover that works well as a single > line. Bug description is misleading. Problem is that when user is moving mouse from evaluated expression to a popover, he needs to reach popover content in order to prevent popover from disappearing. Now in case of text, popover content is a span and it does not occupy entire popover area horizontally. As a result, user reaches what he thinks is a popover, but popover still disappears. Furthermore, guys here claim that popover border is not considered a part of popover... 195495 3 timothy 2010-03-03 05:51:04 -0800 Right, the popover border is not considered a part of popover, since the shadow would be considered too. That could be fixed too with another positioned element used for hit testing.
