Sometimes it works, but usually it doesn't. Often it works so that I have to click the button several times.

Thanks for your report! Please let me know if you're using latest version of Selecton (3.9.4).

And also, does this happen only with "Search on website" button? Or any custom search button revealed when hovering over the "Search" button?

Yes, 3.9.4. Vivaldi Browser. This happen with "Search on website", "Search", "Translate". How can I reset all add-on settings to default?

I can not recreate this problem, so it is probably caused by some conflict with your other installed extensions.

I thought so too. I'll check it out.

I already know where the problem is. If the "Allow Text Selection in Links" option is enabled in Vivaldi, the search button does not always respond, it usually fails more often than it works. Of course, I mean selecting plain text, not text in links. image

Thanks for letting me know! Unfortunately, this is not the first time Vivaldi's built-in features break extension functionality...

I'm afraid there's not much I can do about it, and the only thing I can suggest is to disable this feature in Vivaldi and switch to Select Like A Boss extension, which Selecton is compatibile with.

No, this add-on makes it select all text from the bottom of the web page to the selection.

That's not how it supposed to work. You probably have conflict with some another addon or built-in Vivaldi feature

The problem may be more complicated than it seems. I transferred the entire profile to a virtual machine and Selection works fine there. It's possible that this is related to dual monitors (I recently discovered a bug related to this). I plan to reinstall the system in the future, so I will know more.
