(This was tested only on chrome - if someone wants to reproduce on firefox that would be appreciated).

As of now, the commit time inside commits has a "Last commit X ago". The X ago is hoverable, which is a surprise for many users, as the element shows 0 indication of its hoverability. Instead, it should have the same standards as the regular title attribute, and have a dotted line underneath.

(See the "last month" in the image above - it has no indicator).

Sure! Hover over a commit such as in this repository as specified in the above question:

Note that there is no indicator that 'last month' is a hoverable component - this is an accessibility bug.

This is on chrome & firefox.

Hello @LeoDog896 - there have been some recent updates to the UI which removes the relative timestamps like last month in favor for actual dates such as Feb 3, 2025. Hopefully this resolves the issue you were previously experiencing.
