Website bug: trippy flickery menus

[osndok]

Steps to reproduce:
1. navigate to https://www.factorio.com/
2. hover over the left side of the "Game > Starter Page" sub menu option
3. in one quick motion, move left (out of the submenu) and back right (to re-enter it)
4. enjoy the show

Seen on Firefox v69.0.1

Maybe this will be fixed with a website update

Until then, moving to won't fix

One approach, which doesn't drastically alter the look from how it is now, is to change in factorio.min.js:

Code: Select all

$(".custom-dropdown").hover(function() {
        $(this).children("ul").stop(true, true).slideDown(300)
    }, function() {
        $(this).children("ul").stop(true, true).slideUp(300)
    });

to this:

Code: Select all

$(".custom-dropdown").hover(function() {
        $(this).children("ul").stop(true, true).slideDown(300)
    }, function() {
        $(this).children("ul").stop(true, true).slideUp(0)
    });

Yeah, you lose the smooth collapsing, but it's not that big of a deal. The smooth expanding is what makes it look nice, and that's retained. It actually feels a bit more responsive with it collapsing at 0.

I don't think hounding stackoverflow for paragraphs of javascript to monitor where the cursor is and how to handle which menu was last selected (I can make a double-glitch with both menus by going in a circle), is at all worth it.

If anything were to change, I'd just change the slideUp to zero and call it a day. Just wanted to throw that out there!
