Topic on Extension talk:RevisionSlider

Seems fixed here.

Issue

When the mouse pointer is just about 1 or 2 cm above the yellow line the hover doesn't show up.

Steps to reproduce

1. Go to a page showing revisions (e.g. https://www.mediawiki.org/w/index.php?diff=2446749&oldid=2428873&title=Extension%3AFlow&type=revision)
2. Move the mouse to the left side of the screen (out of the revision slider area)
3. Move the mouse vertically 1 or 2 cm above the yellow revision line
4. Move the mouse horizontally between different revisions.

Expected

The popup showing revision data shows up.

Actual output

Nothing is shown.

Note: Moving the mouse a bit higher in the revision "bar" area will result in the popup showing up, but this is not intuitive.

Hi there! Thank you so much for your detailed reports :-) All issues are currently in work. We will let you know once it is done! Best, Birgit

Great...

Well, here's one bug the developers haven't likely noticed, when a revision pointer is dragged, and then moved back to its original location, the current revision reloads needlessly.

Hej!

As Birgit mentioned your first post relates to one of the issues we were currently working on. The bug is fixed now and you can see the improved version of the RevisionSlider on beta: https://en.wikipedia.beta.wmflabs.org/w/index.php?diff=354925&oldid=276480&title=Main_Page&type=revision

Due to some maintenance on the Wikimedia servers the fixes for the version on mediawiki.org and test.wikipedia.org will not go live before next week. So if you like to test it a bit more please feel free to do so with the current version on the beta server above.

Thanks again for your feedback and don't hesitate if you have any more issues or questions. I will also take a look into the second thing you mentioned.

Best, Christoph

The first issue is fixed. The second one still exists.

Just to clarify, to trigger it, one needs to click and press the left mouse button over one of the revision pointers, then move it around horizontally over other revision "bars", and finally return it to its original position and then let go of the mouse.

Yeah, thanks. I looked into it and filled a ticket in Phabricator: https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T163425
