Hi @dzienskaj
I did not manage to reproduce this issue: the helmet image is displayed fullsize and does not hide until i hover out of the link.
Do you experience this issue on others links ?

Hey, image loading is not a problem here, addon itself works great, but it's causing small "art" flair near title that im hovering to hide/show all the time, causing page to jump around and because of that it's harder to hover over links

From what i've noticed, when I hover on the link flairs hide (all flairs on given page), and when i hover off they show again, also when you fast move over a link so that hoverzoom modal doesn't appear, they hide until you hover on link again.

Yes, I've seen this happening. I personally only use "old" reddit so maybe it's related to the old reddit design?

@extesy i only use old reddit aswell, never checked it on new design. Will check new reddit tomorrow.

Edit: I was checking what happens in html and it seems that title is cleared https://i.fiery.me/rDxVb.gif, if you remove hoverZoomLink class from <a> tag it works as intended but hover zoom doesn't work :P. No idea if it helps, but i thought i would post it

@GrosPoulet FYI, this can be reproduced on reddit (https://www.reddit.com/r/formula1/ is an easy example) under two conditions: 1) old reddit design, 2) "use subreddit style" is on. This is caused by removeTitles/restoreTitles functions in hoverzoom.js, but I haven't yet checked if that is truly necessary to do and if there are any workarounds.

@dzienskaj if you set "use subreddit style" to off, the problem seems to disappear.

I've commented out the call to removeTitles() and current test-driving the results. I haven't yet seen any rogue tooltips popping up.

Ok, I found that not removing titles causes problems with https://imdb.com so I guess I'll have to make this an option then.

@extesy Thank you guys for fixing this issue!
