Weird bug in Chrome and Safari OS X 10.9, hover over link drops to next line, WPfolio Two - wordpress

I should start by saying I'm no expert when it comes to code and web design. That said, I have recently upgraded to OS X 10.9 Mavericks. After updating I'm experiencing a weird bug, specifically on my website and others like it using the wordpress theme WPfolio Two. When you hover over a link, the link jumps and drops to the next line. As soon as you move your mouse away from the linked text the text link hops back up to the line it's supposed to be on. This only happens using Chrome or Safari, it does not seem to happen in Firefox. For an example hover over any link on on either of these two pages http://jasonirla.com/category/news/ or http://notlaura.com/wpfolio-two/read-me/ Thie bug does not seem to effect drop down navigation menus or some (but not all) links in sidebar widget menus.
The bug makes it practically impossible to click the jumping link. I'm not experienced enough to say if this is a browser bug, a OS X bug, a problem with the code in the wordpress them I'm using or what. I am comfortable editing and writing small additions to the theme code using a child theme CSS but in this instance I have no idea where to start or what I'm looking for (to fix). All I know is that this problem did not occur when I was still running 10.8 mountain lion on my mac.
If anyone has any experience with problem like the one I'm experiencing and could offer me some advice I'd really appreciate any help you can offer. I've been searching all over for a week now and haven't been able to find any answers and nothing I've tried seems to make a difference. Thank you for any help or advice you are able to offer.

Can't leave a comment, so I hope this will help you:
Check your font-style on this hover link, is it bold on hover?
Do you use another font-size on hover?
Do you use a iOS compatible font on hover? (using a font that only works on windows systems will be transformed on iOS devices and could cause this bug.

I was contacted by the designer of the WP theme (WPfolio Two), there's a style on 193 of the CSS "display:compact" which is the problem. I put block comments around that line /* display:compact */ and the bug is fixed. Thanks for the initial help #lickmycode – user1544398 just now edit

CSS bugs in Safari browser

To begin with, I just started my first job as a junior front-end developer and got a task to fix bugs in the safari browser. (Chrome works well). 
Our web app is developed using TypeScript, React (with Material UI framework) and Webpack.
Unfortunately, I spent hours surfing the internet and trying to find a solution for these bugs, but I couldn’t. I feel these bugs come from Material UI, but I might be wrong. I hope someone can help me with that and thank you in advance! 

So the main problems I encountered in Safari were kind of CSS bugs.
 Take a look:
Chrome_View / Chrome_View_Wrapped
Safari_View / Safari_View_Wrapped (Bugs are marked)
As you can see the in Chrome everything looks okay, while in Safari some of the things get corrupted.
ToolBar items get wrapped even there is free space. You can take a look at html and CSS. For example, if I comment (margin: -16px;) last item gets to its place.
Blue drawer background is not displayed until you wrap it out. You can take a look at html and CSS. For example, if I comment (overflow-x: hidden;) it gets fixed.
Wrap button on click should transform its direction by 180 degrees.
Footer and Drawer do not display images.
If anyone is familiar with this kind of issues please share your experience.
P.s. It would be great to avoid putting everywhere prefixes manually.

Image jumping/flickering when hovering and transform on firefox

for sometime now I'm experiencing some strange happenings (jumping/flicker) on firefox all around the web. When hovering an image which have some sort of css animations/transition (opacity,transform,...) the image jumps. Additionally it's also very random, so very hard to figure out and solve.
I wasn't able to find anything related to this issue on the web.
Are you also experiencing this, or am I the only one?
Here are some examples where I'm experiencing the described issue:
http://www.undsgn.com/uncode/works/portfolio-full-width-masonry/ (on mouse hover)
http://www.airliftcreative.com/ (on mouse hover)
http://oxfordhouse.nl/ (open the menu and hover the items)
Thanks for your help.
I had this similar issue happen to me when I was using an older instance of Firefox on my windows 7 machine. I updated it but, the problem persisted. The solution I found was to uninstall the browser entirely and reinstall the latest version.
If you need to backup your profile (bookmarks, passwords, etc.) I found the following support page helpful

Best of luck :D

Chrome and fonts issues

This is an issue I noticed in an application that is using icon fonts through all fonts are having issues. Basically the issue is that when I leave the application in a background tab for awhile, sometimes when I come back the fonts get reset to something (most but not all icon fonts show up as squares) and when I move my mouse over the screen, the fonts are switched back to what they should be.
I have made a video to show the issue:
https://vimeo.com/86414508
Any help with this would be greatly appreciated.
It seems to be a known issue in Chrome as it's been answered here :
Icon-font sporadically shows up as squares and back to icon on hover
It's a little annoying but I guess it won't be too much of a problem since they come back when you hover the page again and I'm sure it'll be fixed in the next versions of Chrome.

CSS3 webkit blur ghosting issue

I have a UI where the navigation is over a blurred set of images (blurred using webkit blur), and whenever the navigation moves, theres this strange almost ghosting effect that happens. After you click away onto another element, the ghosting also goes away.
Any advice on how to solve this?
On Mac Snow Leopard:
Chrome 19.0.1084.56
Safari all of them, including 6 beta
It seems that you are encountering a browser/engine dependent issue.
Chances are : you can't solve it by yourself aside from not using blur, or the like.
Not that this bug might not impact all users, depending on the version of the webkit they are using.
Hopefully the problem will be corrected in a future version. Maybe try to contact webkit guys, but that's really all you can do (aside submitting a patch).

CSS background image disappearing in Chrome

This problem is only happening in Google Chrome on Mac OS X (Chrome 17). I've tested it on all the major browsers on Mac and Windows 7.
Here is the page in question:
http://dealsfortherich.com/drop/
As you can see, I'm loading divs via JQuery AJAX.
The page is always fine on "Refresh."
You can navigate pages with the left and right arrows. The problem happens when you change pages; especially when you change pages when scrolling the page quickly. Try scrolling the page down very fast and hit the right arrow.
The background images that were already loaded via CSS (for example):
.sort_block{ background: url(images/sort_block.png) no-repeat;}
start to disappear. Only background images that are loaded with CSS start disappearing. All are fine. If you open Developer Tools on Chrome inspect the elements, you will see that the browser has the correct syntax and it has already downloaded the image into its cache. For some reason, it's just failing to display it. The CSS display value is correct. In the Inspector, for the div with the missing background, if you modify a value such as "top: 8px;" to "top: 9px;" the image suddenly appears.
This is only happening in Chrome (v. 17) and Chrome Canary (v. 19) for Mac OS X (10.7.3).
Should I report this bug to Google or is there a known work around or fix? I guess I can replace the s with s but I would rather do it correctly and fix this weird issue.
I don't know if this is the same issue, but the root is probably the same: http://code.google.com/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=111218. Based on that report, I don't think there's a known fix yet.
I had the same problem and diagnosed it for hours, but it's not about your code, it's a memory related bug in latest chrome. In my experience it doesn't happen to small images, so a temporary solution would be to decrease the file size (to under 10kB or so).
I have a test file here, showing the difference between a big and a small background image.

We worked up a solution for this issue until Chromium/Chrome "fixes the glitch" (hi, Milton)...
My colleague, Andrew, posted our solution here:
http://blog.andrewcantino.com/blog/2012/02/15/fixing-the-chrome-background-refresh-bug/
You can see the page in question at:

It sounds like this has worked for others as well, but it's ugly!
I've recently had this issue, and the fix was to use the complete url, rather than a relative path.
E.g. change url(images/image.png)
to
url("http://yoursite.com/images/image.png")
Use :url(.//images path. The .// should solve the problem.
