Description

See attachment 15555 for video.

To reproduce, bring your pointer down from above the link so that the Hovercard appears with the arrow touching/overlapping the link ( https://i.imgur.com/0qYUgFQ.png ), then move the pointer up and down around the area-of-intersection (near where the hyperlink-underline appears)

Seen in Firefox and Chrome, on Linux.
Not reproducible on Windows 7 or MacOS, according to Eduard Braun and Prateek Saxena.

Possibly the (discussed elsewhere) changes to the default timing (from 150ms to 500ms), will help resolve this.

Version: unspecified
Severity: minor
OS: Linux

Tested on in Chrome 56.0.2924.87, Firefox 51.0.1, Safari 9.1.3

Go to the page for dog: https://en.wikipedia.beta.wmflabs.org/wiki/Dog
Hover over "carnivore"
Move cursor up and down around the link
No flickering observed

Just to make sure, @ABorbaWMF - could you double check this one?

It is working on...
Windows 10
Edge 38.14393.0.0
Chrome 56.0.2924.87
Firefox 51.0.1

@ABorbaWMF - thank you! I think this is safe to resolve
