Description

First off, thanks for the great project!

I'm not sure what code logic is tied to this - it seems random to me - but some timeline markers do not expand on hover. The only differentiating thing I can tell from the markup and styling is that the markers that do not expand have an inline style set to width: 100px.

Is this functionality intentional? If so, what's the rationale, and what determines which markers expand or not?

I set up a local copy of the project, but am still getting my feet with it, so haven't made much progress.

Thanks again!

Research direction

Reproduce the hover behavior in a local copy and compare the markup and styling for markers with and without the inline width: 100px style. Trace the timeline marker hover entry point to determine what controls expansion; done means the behavior is explained and, if unintended, the relevant markers expand consistently.
