Image Zoom in Chrome

Clicking on images embedded in a blog post or front page post doesn't seem to properly zoom them in Chrome.

If you mouse over an image before the page fully loads, the cursor changes to a hand icon (to indicate a button or action object). Clicking when the cursor is a hand icon properly zooms the image.

Once the page fully loads, though, the cursor changes to a magnifying glass with a + icon when mousing over an image. If you click on the image with that cursor, the image shrinks down to 2x2 pixels (including the green border). Its position becomes the far right side of the original image and halfway down the height of the image (left + width, top + height/2).

If you click on an image on the page after another image has been shrunk to 2x2 pixels, that image will shrink to 2x2 pixels and the other image will return to normal size.

It might be a problem with your implementation/configuration of the Highslide object. The example images on the Highslide homepage seem to work correctly in Chrome.

Let me know if there's any additional debugging information I can provide.

I was literally just about to post this.

I use Chrome, and I never have any issues with it. If I remember correctly, the only people who ever seem to have this problem are using ad blockers.

Hmm, I'm having the same problems... ad blockers? Would unblocking cag solve the problem?

EDIT : Nope, that didn't work.

Probably. I've tested it on about 10 different versions of Chrome across 4 different operating systems, and never been able to replicate it. (But I wasn't using an ad blocker.)

Yep, you're right: it was AdBlock that was causing the issue. Oddly enough, disabling Adblock on CAG doesn't suffice; I had to actually uninstall it to get the image zoom to work.

Thanks, John.
