Question for JavaScript devs
A question for JavaScript devs about a bug on the Scripting News home page. I'm puzzled, maybe you can see the problem.

I've got a bug on the home page of Scripting News.

If you click in a tab, it should bring that tab to the front.

It does that, if you're not pointing directly at the title of the tab.

Here's a tiny video demo.



The problem was introduced recently.

At first I thought it might have something to do with the hamburger icon, but if I disabled it, the problem persists.

My current theory is that it has to do with z-index values.

But I can't see anything obviously wrong there. But I did have to screw around with that for the snap.js stuff. That part of it didn't get disabled. Hmmm.

If you have any ideas, please post a comment here. 

Problem solved

I got some great advice, and figured out how to get all that I wanted and restore the functionality of the links in the tabs. I explained how in this comment.
