1 conscience 0 dimension (ID: 000000ccd8f26e50) Voted 1 ★ - Updated 12/27/2022 I was using "highlight all" in firefox and it was perfectly working (using ctrl rather than a double clic). the title make the application difficult to find there. normally you have the keyword "occurences". doesn't work on chatGPT for instance edit: well still same things some bugs of selection. and the double clic is not really a good option and badly configured. if you double click seconds after, doing maybe a linguistic correction, it's still considered as a double clic and so it's underlined and the correction can't happen. serious bug.
