Can't see summarisation/proofread/other options after selecting text

Open tanishchawla opened this issue 4 months ago • 6 comments

Thanks for this tool, but I have an issue:

I can trigger the standalone window:

But if I select a text to summarize or proofread, I still get the same window - no additional options.

I have tried multiple shortcuts but it doesn't seem to work.

Any help is appreciated

For a small percentage of users, the timings in the code are too quick for those computers, breaking Writing Tools.

The next update will have a "compatibility mode" toggle in settings that'll fix this for you. I'll ping you when I release the update so you can try it again :)

Just curious as to whether or not this has been fixed or implemented yet?

@CaptainXannath Not yet! I've been super busy with moving in to uni for the first time in a new country, but expect a very notable update in the not too distant future with that and a bunch of other things implemented.

No worries. This issue started today randomly. It worked fine for a few uses and then it just stopped. If there are any logs or anything I could potentially provide I'll gladly do it.

Hello, thanks for this tool. I've been having the same problem on my machine recently. Is there a workaround I can use while waiting for the bug to be fixed? Thanks!

Hello team,

I apologize for the repeated contact regarding this issue. I'm currently encountering a persistent problem where the option toolbox is never visible on my computer, which is quite frustrating.

Would it be possible for me to adjust the relevant timing settings within the code and then rebuild the application to attempt a fix myself?

I understand you may be busy, but since this is a fun and valuable tool that I enjoy using, I'd greatly appreciate any guidance or information on a potential workaround.

Thank you for your time.
