Intermittent Glitch with Image Viewer on Listings (ebay.co.uk)

I'm experiencing a few glitches with the photo viewer on listings.  Images are overflowing the bounding box of their parent containers (see attached screengrab), and when I mouse over them to zoom, the white square (which is usually centred under the mouse's hand pointer) is way off, meaning that I can't properly move around to view the larger image. 

 

Clicking the image to view the larger one is working fine, it's just the mouseover control that appears to be skewed.  This has been happening for about 24 hours now.

 

Firefox 60, Win 7 64 Bit.

(eBay isn't here - this forum is not monitored, and even if it was, in the scheme of current major bugs and glitches this realistically wouldn't even be on the radar)

Work fine here on a half dozen listings I checked using Firefox 3.6.24 WinXP 32bit

You didn't mention if it happens with all listings, listings in a specific category, only on images that are full width and doesn't manifest for tall narrow images, etc.

What is the item number (and which image if multiples) of that one you showed (or item number for any other listing where it occurs)? Maybe it is something listing specific. (can't imagine what, but worth a look)

Okay, thanks for the prompt reply. I'll abandon this then, especially as I'm posting in the wrong place.

The unfortunate reality is that there is no right place. This forum is the best choice for mentioning issues like this, but posters make the mistake of thinking they have eBay's ear and that someone will get right on it.

You are the only one to mention anything like this. It is the type of thing that many would miss or ignore- it sounds like a pretty subtle issue that isn't fatal when viewing listing photos.

As it is only you reporting the issue, there is a fair chance it isn't eBay and is something browser related on your end - an addon, a plugin, a recent Firefox update (the FF60.6.0 update on 3/18/19 or the 60.5.2 update on 2/22/19 for example), stale cookies, cached scripts and other and page content, etc.

As such, my view is it isn't valid to summon an eBay liaison at this point - a single report of a somewhat obscure issue is not likely going to even be looked into even if an ebay person says they will forward it to the tech people (that is what I meant by "in the scheme of current major bugs and glitches this realistically wouldn't even be on the radar")

Sorry, but this place does not operate like well oiled machines elsewhere in this regard. Tech issues are prioritized, and the general feel is more of a "run the bilge pumps, keep bailing, we have to keep it afloat" approach

Tried another browser? If Firefox did update, have you tried a previous FF version? Cleared cache and cookies? Any new addons, plugins, or other changes lately?
