Weirdest Safari behaviour

[Former user]

On my Safari 7.0.2 + OSX Mavericks 10.9.2 on MacBook Air4,2

• page elements change their position and style severely

• text input boxes behave strange, sometimes copy paste does not work, sometimes in line editing does not work (can only add text to the end of a paragraph, e.g. in twitter or youtube)

example pictures for hover with mouse attached. hover over normal text elements like paragraph and over input submit button.

Thanks a lot for this report. I've released 1.0.2 to partially mitigate these problems by not adding the special mouse-over scaffolding to elements that have no hanzi in them anyway (d5ba66d).

This should stop your typical non-Chinese sites from behaving strangely. Mousing over elements with hanzi in them may still exhibit some 'dancing'. I will continue to work on this.

It might be useful to look at a different approach for selecting the words, e.g. https://gist.github.com/MadeByMike/1c4ca3ecbae07ef46b9e

There's been some further mitigations against this problem in 1.0.8 (454de66) but it's still not fixed for every case yet.

Problem seems to persist, e.g. here: http://www.ftchinese.com/story/001065910/ce
