When using Chrome or Microsoft Edge, there is a noticeable delay when you click something that invokes a popup or a tooltip. This doesn't happen in Firefox. I don't know if it's just me, but it was the first thing I noticed when I entered this site for the first time. This doesn't happen in v4.

There is a slight intentional delay, but what the reporter is seeing are javascript computation problems, which is interesting as I can’t reproduce on Edge either.

Do you have any browser extensions perhaps?

I’m using Chrome with no more than five extensions. I also tested in Incognito mode with all extensions disabled and in vanilla Edge.

The issue is more noticeable on longer pages (like Activity Feed).

Would I be able to reduce this delay or is it impossible to change?

It just makes the site seem sluggish at times.

Yeah, I can reproduce it; there are a couple antiquated jquery usages to get element sizes that are really slow in modern browsers

Timed some, but not all, position-related usages of jquery and it accounts for the majority of the lag

I’ll try to get a fix in by the next alpha using modern, robust native JS and an optimized algorithm

How was this fixed? using jQuery or CSS? I reported the same bug.

Neither: using native JS instead of jquery and dynamic programming techniques to maximize efficiency.
