alt Hacker NewsI'm completely confused by the issue, the linked page is a terribly unclear description. It doesn't clearly explain what prior behavior was, or even what the new behavior is precisely. What on earth is this garbled English supposed to mean:
> any link to an issue form an issue stared to open in a popup overlay instead of navigating to it
When I use GitHub now, I see that when I hover over a link to an issue, it provides a hover popup after a fraction of a second. I can still click the original link to navigate to the issue, or move my mouse and the popup goes away.
Is the complaint that these hover popups exist at all? Or is something else happening to certain people that they're complaining about? There isn't a link to an example page or anything. I'm just baffled here.
When you click the link it will not navigate to a new page, but instead open some kind of pop-up window with the other issue. I have been very annoyed by this behavior for the last couple of days.
