Hovering over Reddit links is sometimes doesn't work, cursor has to be in the "right spot" in order to active Hoverzoom

[GoogleCodeExporter]

Problem description: Since 3/4, hovering over Reddit links has become 
unreliable. I have to move the cursor very slowly over the text of a link and 
find a "sweet spot" in order for Hoverzoom to activate.

URL (web address) where the problem occurs: reddit.com

Hover Zoom version: 5.6
Google Chrome version: 41.0.2272.76 (64-bit)
Operating system: OS X 10.10.1

I have the same issue. You hover over the post, and have to make tiny touches 
to the mouse in the hope it will hit the lucky spot and bring up the picture. 

It also doesn't turn the links purple when you eventually do get the image to 
appear (which was happening previously)

Google images and other sites are working as normal

Using Chrome on a Macbook (Retina Display)

I should have noted that hovering over the reddit thumbnail still works as 
normal. It's just the links that aren't working.

Same issue on 22 Windows 8.1 machines with latest version of chrome. 

I had brief success after reinstalling the extension, but then it reverted 
back. So I tried different setting combinations and that worked briefly again, 
then reverted back. 

I'm also getting a lot of browser lag when there are on pages with a lot of 
.gifs. It's almost like it's trying to preload them and slowing the browser 
down. 

I'm getting this issue on all websites (not just reddit) where you have be 
particular where you aim the mouse.

This has been fixed, the new version (5.7) has just been published, it should 
be deployed automatically in the next few hours.
