Bug : Inconsistent behavior of content preview on hover
Description:
I've noticed an inconsistent behavior with the content preview feature when hovering over article titles. Sometimes the preview appears, and other times it doesn't.
Steps to reproduce:
- Navigate to the article list page
- Hover over an article title
- Observe whether the content preview appears
Expected behavior: The content preview should consistently appear when hovering over article titles.
Actual behavior: The preview appears inconsistently - sometimes it shows up, other times it doesn't.
Additional information:
- This issue occurs intermittently
- I have uploaded screenshots and a screen recording demonstrating the issue
- When I exit baRSS and then reopen it, adding the same feed again enables the content preview to work
Questions:
- Is this intended behavior or a bug?
- Are there any known conditions that affect the preview's appearance?
- Why does restarting the application and re-adding the feed seem to resolve the issue temporarily?
I have attached screenshots and a screen recording to this issue for your reference. Please let me know if you need any additional information.

Hi, I know I have seen the other issue (blue unread dot appears gray after hover) some time ago. But I can't remember when and where. Probably exactly the issue you describe. I've just tested baRSS on macOS 14.7 and 10.15.7 and could not reproduce it. I'll keep it running and see if get to the issue eventually.
As for your questions, yes it is a bug but I couldn't find the cause because it happens so seldom / unpredictable and I don't have my debugger running all the time. I also cannot say why this is happening. The preview is default Apple behavior. In code, I just tell the menu-item to use this text as Tooltip. Everything else happens behind the scenes / is abstracted by Apple. I have no control over the display (or not) of the values.
What OS version you're on?
