Popups being super annoying #44630
-
Select Topic AreaProduct Feedback BodyEvery time I mouseover a nick, it will pop up info, so does some other stuff that pops up info box. That is fine, but there is NO way to get rid of it. If it covers something, I have to find something else to pop info so that spot is uncovered. What should happen, with info box: What actually happen: If click anywhere cant work, add a button to close infobox. |

Hi there - I have passed this on to the proper team - they are aware that this is affecting users in the Firefox browser and working on a fix. When I have updates I'll share them with you. |

For those following along at home, my suspicions are that the "bug" has to do with the way that Chrome and Firefox handles retaining focus on elements vs passing it back to the window. 🙂 |

@jamieshark Could popups be disabled entirely until the fix is properly tested and deployed? At least then the site would be usable. (It's not like :hover tooltips provide any kind of critical functionality, but being able to read and click on things is kind of critical.) Anyway thanks for answering here. |

@fantasai - I think the fix should have been deployed by now (sorry for not answering earlier). Though the user feedback has prompted the team to think about adding this as a user setting, thanks all. |

As a work around on pull requests I have been using the GH extension for VS Code. |

I have a work around. Clicking inside the tooltip and then clicking again outside gets them to behave for a while (probably until navigation). |

Is there a setting somewhere to disable them altogether? Not only are they annoying as hell lately, but I'd rather not see them again, at all. |

Sounds like a good feature request! You should start a new discussion to focus on offering an option to disable the pop-ups... |

Yes this is still an issue. One that is driving me more and more insane. A swift fix would be greatly appreciated! |

I hope there is a global option in the personal preference to disable it at all, it is noisy. |

They used the term "fix", not "enhance". Being the second person on this thread to suggest a 'disable pop-ups' option, I highly encourage you open a new discussion to request that feature. |

I think what's annoying is just that it covers text sometimes, so when it gets stuck it's extremely annoying. Adding an option to disable it feels like a wrong solution. You could just block it using a content blocker. |

How would you block it? |
