Glitchy mouse hover behaviour in lists #1277

Description

If reporting a bug:

  1. Can you describe the problem and bug in more detail?

Items resize on mouse hover due to exposing more information. This seems to lead to glitchy behaviour in the list, as the mouse cursor can “expand” and item on hover, then collapse it when another item is hovered, making the viewport to change scroll position, which might make the cursor to involuntarily be on another item. At least that my possible explanation of what is happening, based on my experience with UX and frontend development.

  1. How can we replicate the issue?

I'm not exactly sure, so here is a video:

  • Move the cursor over an item
  • Move it over another item further down the list.

It might also be a different bug considering I see two identical entries that probably shouldn't be. It's possible hovering over the one tries to expand both as later in the video, you can see both expanding.

  1. Expected behavior (i.e. solution)

I would expect an item only to expose more information on an explicit click, considering it should be predictable based on WCAG (that's probably a bit a stretch for an explanation. In general, the behaviour is most likely a bit much for a simple mouse hover IMHO).
