Peter Row (ID: 000000d7ff6c4ae5) Voted 2 ★ - Updated 09/20/2019 When you click the button to either pick foreground/background box the overlay on the page is not move-able. In my case I was checking the skip links in the top left of the page when focused. Except I couldn't use this tool because it obscured the link.
