@n-sikka Any idea what could be causing this? A way to debug this would be to run the example from https://github.com/360Learning/jquery-select-areas on Windows. I can try that later.

These are my working notes.

There's a setting in jquery-select-areas that is opacity setting...

overlayOpacity (0.5) : opacity of the overlay layer over the image

That could be it --- edit: screwing around with the values is not leading to anything. Tried with Chrome and Firefox.

Edit:

On mouseover and inspect element within chorme, the element is stated as: <div class="select-areas-background-area" style="background: url(&quot;/static/uploads󜶕39-10ec-474a-94b8-ca219434b002page-1.png&quot;) -53px -329px / 731px no-repeat rgb(255, 255, 255); position: absolute; cursor: move; width: 348.5px; height: 584px; left: 53px; top: 329px; z-index: 102;"></div>

Hi, I am also facing similar issue, It will be helpful if it shows selected area instead of white space.

I'm also facing this issue.

Also, when I try extracting a tables on windows, all the tables are detected properly, selected with solid white boxes, and no data is extracted.

All tables that are extracted are blank like in the image above. Would this be related to the white-box issue? Could excalibur be trying to read data from the white tables?

I'm also facing this issue.

In case this helps anyone else:

When I extracted the data and saw the blank tables I assumed the extraction had failed. But when I ignored the blank tables and downloaded the JSON anyways, the data was fine.

So if tables are being shown as blank after extraction, try downloading the data anyways

I have the same issue. Has there been any progress made on this bug?
