Jason S Lane (ID: 000000a52fb3ea18) Voted 3 ★ - Updated 09/25/2023 This plug-in is very convenient, but it has a fatal problem. That is, the counting display window is fixed and cannot be moved. This will cause this window to block the selected copy, which is not conducive to browsing and analysis by comparing the copy.
