the screen still gets the white haze, and selection still kinda works, but the area selected is not highlighted by clearing the haze
and shaking my cursor around wildly while selecting results in selection cancelled
it does appear that if i hold my mouse button and wait at least 2 seconds after making the selection, it is highlighted
once that highlighting is active, shaking the mouse with the button held, does not cancel the selection
besides a bit of a flicker of the white haze going on, then off when the window is selected, to back on when area selection is started
the anything option is functionally equivalent to the old area feature, maybe it should just be made an alias of anything?
i can't quite pin down what change caused this but somewhere between 2023-06-30 and 2024-01-20 this behaviour changed originally reported here: https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/pull/283388#issuecomment-1912914883
