Description

Problem
========
Go to https://localhost:8443/ecommerce/gift-cards-GC-100-c
When the mouse hovers on a product image in a list view, the popup fades in and out non-stop.

Cause
=====
The list view has a narrower height than the grid (matrix) view. This causes the popup to overlay on the target and results in the cycling.

Quick Fix
==============
To illustrate the problem, we change the display to grid view, instead of list view, by append the following to the CatalogDetail.groovy file

context.put("numCol", 3);
context.viewSize = 12;

Better Solution
===============
Use tooltip from jQuery UI. Works correctly when the products are displayed in list view / grid view. A patch will be provided.
