overflow:hidden not working with border-radius in Chrome - html

Question

I'm trying to make a circle-shaped image with an overlay that shows on hover. However, the "hitbox" of hovering (and clicking) is incorrect, as shown in the snippet below.
This issue seems to only occur in Chrome (not sure about Safari). I've found some fixes on the Internet, but none of them worked. JSFiddle for testing
$(document).ready(function() {
$(".circle").click(function() {
alert($(this).attr("id"));
});
});
#canvas {
width: 100%;
padding-bottom: 75%;
position: relative;
overflow: hidden;
background-color: #eee;
}
.circle {
position: absolute;
width: 25%;
padding-bottom: 25%;
border-radius: 50%;
top: 50%;
left: 50%;
transform: translate(-50%, -50%);
overflow: hidden;
cursor: pointer;

<div class="hover">

Edit: Tested in Firefox 57, works without problem. IE and Edge were tested already, so it's a Chrome-/webkit-specific issue.

Answer 1

The blocks in HTML are square defined by position (x, y) and size (width, height) so the browser can have a simplified idea of what is on the page and interact with. So even with border-radius, mask-image, etc... your .circle div is still a square with coming drawn within.
To avoid that, you can't use a dynamic selector like :hover because it will use the shape of the div and that is a square. You need to use javascript to detect mouse position when hovering your block and with that execute an animation (with sinus and cosinus calculation).
You can get the mouse position with something like this :
<div class="circle" onmouseover="hoverFunction(e)"></div>
<script>
function hoverFunction(e) {
var x = e.clientX;
var y = e.clientY;
}
</script>
I also found this topic talking about getting elements position on the page.

Answer 2

You can change only .circle class these properties:
width: 26%;
padding-bottom: 26%;
border-radius: 50%;
-moz-border-radius: 50%;
-webkit-border-radius: 50%;
