Recently I started working on a feature for a project and needed to integrate some sort of preview image tooltips. I decided to go with qtip2 for this. However, I noticed that it doesn't work for me properly.

The problem for me is that when I put the mouse cursor over the thumbnail, a tooltip appears on the screen not where it's supposed to be but some milliseconds later it positions itself properly. That's why I call it "jerky" tooltips because they appear in jerky fashion. And it doesn't matter if I have any effects set like `fadeIn`. Effects or no effects, it still does the same thing.

But usually Chrome just hangs when a tooltip appears. I can't even reload the page, so the only solution to it is to close the tab and start over.

I removed all the unnecessary code from css and html, leaving just the essential code so that the problem could be found and isolated.

By the way, everything is working just fine in Firefox.
