When ppl first see fiddlesalad they have the page where they select the defaults for the IDE interface. It's very hard to understand what goes over there. After some research I've found out that the top part, has like a slideshow of examples of chosen languages. Sometimes the timeout on the slideshow hits exacly when user hovers an option, and that creates an illusion that the slideshow changes on hover, sometimes it syncs with the click. The CTA (go button) can be hardly spotted.
