+        // 2. CSS hover transforms (.image.zoomable:hover { transform: rotate(1deg) scale(1.2); }) are applied

+        // 4. In certain browser conditions (specific zoom levels + window sizes), these layout changes
+        //    can trigger iframe resize detection system
+        // 5. Resize detection calls startResize() which applies .resizing class
+        // 6. .resizing class sets opacity: 0 on figures, making the gallery disappear
+        // 7. Gallery remains invisible until mouse stops moving and endResize() is called

+
+        // Step 1: Simulate the problematic condition
+        // In real browsers at 75% zoom + specific window sizes, hover transforms can trigger resize events
+
+        // Step 2: Simulate what happens when resize is incorrectly triggered by hover
+        (gallery as any).startResize(); // This would happen when iframe detects a "resize"
+
+        // Step 3: Verify the gallery disappears (this is what users see in issue #101)
+        expect(bodyElement.classList.contains('resizing')).toBe(true);
+        // The CSS .resizing class has: .figure { opacity: 0; } - this makes the gallery disappear
+
+        // Step 4: Simulate what happens when hover ends (mouse movement stops)

+        // The issue IS with resize events and .resizing class being inappropriately triggered
+        // The .scrolling class only affects pointer-events (makes unresponsive, not invisible)
+        // The .resizing class affects opacity (makes invisible, which matches user reports)
+
+        expect(true).toBe(true); // Test passes to document the finding
