This is what open source is all about: See a problem with your tool, fix it yourself, and everyone enjoys the improvements.
While the fix has created some regression, that bug is seeing work, too.
And this is why devs don’t often focus on the minor issues. Haha. Good stuff.
To be clear, I love this story and kudos to Yifan Zhu for the initiative. Let’s normalize crediting people properly
I see that this is one of the negative of OSS instead. Seems a lot of people aware of this bug, but there’s no pressure to fix this until 22 years.
Or: It’s such a minor bug that nobody really cared enough and they devoted time to other, more important things. But they made the choice as a collective and not a bunch of suits in a board room.
This take makes no sense.

From here out when a tooltip disappears, I will say it Zhu’d away.
He’s been working on it since he was 1 👶
Makes sense, motivation is very powerful. It helps to also not be jaded from years of working in the area.
Prophecy fulfilled i guess. Young man must be proud of his work.
That’s a very interesting fix on a rare bug.
Can we get this guy to figure out why the fuck the URL rollover in the bottom left will not go away unless you shrink the video, roll onto a different link, then full screen the video again?
I’ve tried every change to userchrome.css that I can find and none of them fix it
Do you know if this is actually been reported as a bug? I’ve seen it myself, but just got annoyed and didn’t report it or anything.
That’s a great question actually, I can’t find it as an outstanding bug, but Mozilla has multiple support articles on it leading me to wonder.
Do you have any suggestions on how I could search?
You can search for it on webcompat, linked to from Report an issue with a website that I use. I did a search within there and it may be related to or the same bug as this.
Now this is podracing!
This bug has annoyed me plenty! Cheers to this kid!
