IE9|10, hovering over the hidden hint area makes the hint appear about hint.css HOT 14 CLOSED

You mean to say the tooltip appears on hovering itself?

from hint.css.

Yes, like this:

edit:
it seems like it also affects IE9

from hint.css.

This issue is because of the unavailability of pointer-events in IE. The workaround for IE at present seems to be this: #15

from hint.css.

It seems like this happens in Opera 12.14 as well.

Opera 12.14 Build 1738 for Linux x86_64

from hint.css.

@varemenos true, pointer-events not supported by opera also. But the fix by @thejameskyle should fix it for all.

from hint.css.

Affirmative, just checked in Opera 12.14 on Windows 7 and Opera 12.13 on OSX Mountain Lion (can't test linux sorry). You can test it yourself here: http://codepen.io/thejameskyle/fullpage/GEymI

I should note that pointer-events does more than my fix does.

With pointer-events the tooltip will disappear if you move from the target to the already visible tooltip, where with my fix it will stay visible. It's hardly noticeable, but still it's the best I could do.

from hint.css.

@thejameskyle The issue is happening even in the pen you posted above in the opera version i mentioned above.
can't do much testing right now, I got tendonitis in the wrist of my main hand

from hint.css.

@varemenos It should still be happening to the top one but not the bottom one

from hint.css.

Well, unfortunately it's happening in both.

from hint.css.

Just tested in Opera 12 for linux and it's behaving as expected, 12.14 may have introduced a bug, I don't know. But, I think you may be getting confused as to what this is fixing.

• When the tooltip is visible, if you move your cursor on top of it, it should not disappear. This doesn't seem to be fixable without pointer-events support, although you are welcome to try.
• When the tooltip not visible if you move to the area where is should be, it should not appear or be clickable.

If 12.14 for linux isn't working then I don't see a solution other than not supporting it. Which doesn't seem unreasonable; looking at my company website's browser stats, Opera 12 for linux has a .09 % browser share, and this isn't that terrible of a bug. Seeing that Opera is switching to webkit, it shouldn't be a problem for much longer.

But again you are welcome to try and fix it.

from hint.css.

When the tooltip not visible if you move to the area where is should be, it should not appear or be clickable.

This part is not working though. If you move to the area where is should be, it still appears and it triggers a hover effect for the item that has the hint class.

Its possible that this is a linux-related issue (even though the IE tests were done via virtualbox).

from hint.css.

It wouldn't be operating system related, it would be limited to the browser, although it could be just the linux version of opera 12.14.

I've made the testing page more extensive: http://codepen.io/thejameskyle/fullpage/GEymI

Fixed in v1.2.1 (#26)
