Hey fedi-folk, and I think maybe particularly @cheeaun or @phanpy ... I am getting a weird hovertext thing happening and I *think* I have it isolated to Phanpy. See pictures. When scrolling the timeline, if I pause over an image, the hovering text appears and I usually see this as image alt text. For the last week or so, the floating text has been file names completely unrelated to anything I have open much less in focus.
Testing is a bit more since posting. It doesn't happen on every image, and it's not the same file ever time, and it doesn't even happen on the SAME image consistently if I go back and hover. But also, right after posting the post above, I got a non-file-name hover-text that was still unrelated to the image -looks like a hovertext from the Mastodon client? Which I had opened earlier but was not open at this time.
@johannab what's the browser you're using?
@cheeaun Hey there - I have concluded I've bothered you unnecessarily- I apologize. This first manifested while using Phanpy but it's now happened on other non-social web sites in Safari and NOW I've seen it in my Apple Photos app. This is clearly a bug somewhere in MacOS, maybe with the magic trackpad innards.
Please consider it a vote of appreciation for Phanpy that I use it so much it's what brought the bug to my attention.
@johannab no worries. Maybe try restart the OS? I remember I had a similar issue some time ago, it somehow went away and I have now idea how it happened 🤷♂️
