There's a certain area around tags where they will flip constantly between their normal and hover states. Please see the following video for an illustration of the issue:

This is in Chrome stable in case it makes a difference.

  • Yeah, this bugs me. tags in chat do it too. I think it varies a bit by site though. Depends if the border width changes. It doesn't work on MSO for instance

  • @Sklivvz I can, the CSS doesn't appear to have changed since I described the problem in my answer.

    @Sklivvz: Oh, right. This only applied to tags in posts, not below them. At least that's how it is for me right now. So, yeah, as Tim says, problem is still there. Jan 30, 2014 at 13:36

Yeah, on Super User .post-text a:hover's border-bottom: 1px #6C0000 dotted; is more specific than the border defined for .post-text .post-tag, and the variation in border definitions causes it to flip back and forth between the hover and non-hover states.

Tweaking the selector/adding the border definition to the .post-text a.post-tag:hover style should fix things.
