Hovering back and forth (quickly) between pagers causes slideshow to transition faster than set even after hovering ceases [#1443398]

The title kinda says it all. Hovering back and forth (quickly) between pagers causes the slideshow to transition between slides faster than set (in the settings) even after hovering ceases.

I see this behavior on two websites I am currently working on.

http://customdoorproducts.info
http://lsgnetworksolutions.com

First, view the slideshows and notice the transition speed. The Timer Delay on both are set to 5000ms (which is default). Hover over the radio buttons (pager). Move back and forth between the first two several times quickly. Actually, I have just tested on customdoorproducts.info and as long as I hover over each (in order) at a fairly fast rate, the problem will occur. Now, stop hovering over the pagers. Notice the transition (I notice it most between every other slide) is cut down to almost nothing. This resumes until the page is reloaded.

Both are using pagers (pager type - fields, pager fields - Content: Title, Activate Slide and Pause on Pager Hover is checked). I recall having the same issue in earlier versions, but I've been on a break from Web Development for a while.

Both sites are on Drupal 7.10. Views Slideshow 7.x-3.0.

As far as browsers, I see the same behavior in FF, Chrome, and IE.

Thanks,
Kirk

I'm also finding this issue

I was seeing this too; I think it is a result of the hovering over thumbnails sending many (and perhaps conflicting) messages to the slideshow controls.

In case anyone is looking around for a quick solution: I eliminated the issue by unchecking "Activate Slide and Pause on Pager Hover" under the pager widget controls. For my use, clicking the pager thumbnails is a fine UX and I'm not seeing any more weird transition time behaviors.

I'm seeing this as well. I had "Activate Slide and Pause on Pager Hover" under the pager widget controls activated, and deactivated hoping it would help, however, the same behavior occurred after clicking multiple pager controls (in my case, the title). It would seem that the behavior just gets triggered after multiple interactions, and was just more obvious with the hover because it was easier to interact. Anybody else have the same findings?

Also seeing this behaviour. On my site I only need to run the mouse over top of two or three of the pager images two or three times and then move away and the transitions start at lightning speed.

The jQuery behind the slideshow probably needs some way of unqueueing transitions if a certain number have built up because it seems that after a while it finally gets through the backlog and the transitions begin happening at normal speed again.

I'm experiencing the same issues. Seems to only happen when hovering quickly between items. Unfortunately, most users will likely do that! :(

This doesn't seem to be the issue with just the hovering, but if you click quickly between items a number of times in the pager, the same results happen.

Not sure if this will point anyone in the right direction or not, but this behavior only occurs when the view is being displayed on the front end. If you go in to edit the view and attempt the same sort of mouse hovering actions, the slideshow works as expected.
