hypothesis-adder obscures the text behind #11

Hi @diegodlh:

You extension is great, thanks for your sharing.

But I met a problem after I highlighted some content. The transparent DOM named hypothesis-adder obscures the text behind, and the text can't be selected.

Is it possible to resolve this problem in the future? Thanks again!

Hi, @jtr109! Thanks for reporting this. I had been seeing this behavior for some time, but I wasn't having the time to look into it, and as nobody else was reporting it I thought it was just my browser. Now I see it may be more general. Unfortunately I'm not having much time to work on this project, but I will look into it as soon as I can. As a workaround, what I'm doing is:

  1. Click the extension button to enable Hypothesis (the problem you describe appears)
  2. Click the extension button again to disable it
  3. Click the button once more to enable it again. The problem should be gone

Hi, @diegodlh:

Thanks for your response. I understand it is hard to maintain an open-source project. Also thanks for your resolution.

Working on it may be a bit complicated or time-consuming. I don’t want to bother you with it. I find a way to bypass it by selecting another text to move the hidden DOM away, and it is OK for me to live with this problem.
