Freaking, some devs should learn how to make websites well. lol. I was hovering over a text, then I let it lose focus and focused my cursor floating halfway between left and right element and it caused an intense strobe effect.

I just can't. lol

Basically every web app is a giant fragile hack. The good ones just manage to hide that from the user very well.
But I really can’t blame the web devs. It’s fucking hard.

Ah, yes. I'm familiar w/ the phenomenon. I find it annoying, as well.

@Lensflare yeah, because clients/stakeholders want shit NOW, unrealistic deadlines and project managers lie to them about it. then the pressure is on us to perform, take shortcuts and build shitty web apps. My last job wasn't like this, but it was boring lol

@D-4got10-01 What would it be caused by?

@CaptainRant I can only speak as a tester, from what I can observe.

Anyway, sounds like a problem of animation where mouse over triggers it, but then the active area reacting to the mouse over changes its size alongside the visual of the element causing the mouse cursor to no longer be over the element... or something like that.

I could be wrong, though.

Similar problems occur when e.g. two buttons are close together && you place the cursor in-between them, triggering both at the same time.

* Edit: *

So anyway, You might've stumbled upon the latter example.

@D-4got10-01 I recognize the effect of someone asking a Computer Scientist a question, only for the answer to delve into a philosophical consideration. lol. Thankss

@D-4got10-01 Damn lol, I was cursing at the DOM upon inspecting their page. A text <li> that spans the whole page whilst visually displaying only text?! Tf...

Ok so, it's an <li> with an <a> in it.. and :focus causes the text + symbol glyph to go bold... but :hov causes them to go thin... and they have a custom a:hover which does a transition: 0,5s but that gets considered as an invalid property value because you need to use a dot and not a comma... and they use WordPress. lol

@CaptainRant shit like that doesn’t even surprise me anymore.

@CaptainRant What can I say. I tried providing an exhaustive answer based on what I've experienced in the past.
