2. Install ep_author_hover from /admin/plugins
3. Load a pad, try to hover some things

I'm not certain on every situation where it happens, but it's at least definitely triggerable by hovering a blank area to the right of text.

Chrome exhibits the same behavior.

In index.js, the function "closest()" is used but you must check what is returned. Sometimes, on blank line, <span> entitie is not found. Fixed in my fork . I need a bit more work to handle all cases and also understand how to retrieve authornames correctly before doing a pull request.

Thanks @R1kk3r bump me when you have a full pull ready and I will get it merged :)

Hi.
I confirm the error with EP 1.5.7 and author_hover 0.0.8.
I think it (probally) comes from parts that were "cleaned" : they lost colors and author information.
