What Happened to Thread Preview on Hover?

[cklester]

I thought I used to be able to hover over a thread topic title/link and see a partial preview of the text, but that seems to be gone now. Was that on purpose? Am I hallucinating? :-D

It does seem to show something, tested with Chrome and Firefox. I'm not sure whether it is a forum feature or a new browser feature.

It's a forum feature. A hover triggers a network request. So for Erel's picture above, this is what the server returns.

{
    "status": "ok",
    "html": {
        "content": "<div class=\"tooltip-content-inner\">\n\t<div class=\"bbWrapper\">I thought I used to be able to hover over a thread topic title/link and see a partial preview of the text, but that seems to be gone now. Was that on purpose? Am I hallucinating? :-D</div>\n\t<span class=\"tooltip-content-cover\"></span>\n</div>"
    }
}

So you need to be viewing one of the forum lists
e.g
https://www.b4x.com/android/forum/forums/forum-discussion.16/

It used to work perfectly for me. When I started this thread, there was no preview. Now, I get this:

I wonder if I accidentally did something to a setting. :-/

(Yes, I'm hovering over the "What Happened..." link, and the preview shows down below it to the right!

Oh! I'm using Brave (and have been for years). I'll try it in another browser and see what I get.

LOL. I figured it out.

It's back to normal behavior. The reason it was messing up was because of a plugin I recently started using for the B4X pages called "Widescreen Browsing." I use a wide monitor and my browser window is stretched almost full horizontally, but I'd rather certain pages not be so wide. This plugin is supposed to just make the page narrow while keeping the browser window wide. However, it seems it messed with the preview pop-ups! Oh, well!

I get this today, but yesterday when you posted, I didn't get a preview when I tried. (Edge - no extensions)
