Hot-reloading preview stops working after `typst-preview-send-position`

[m4xxed]

First off, let me say that I already love this package. It just works out of the box (using firefox as browser)!

The issue I found is that after using typst-preview-send-position (which works, the browser moves to the position and pulses shortly), any changes to the document are not updated live anymore. It works after refreshing the browser page, until using the typst-preview-send-position button again.

Here are the outputs from *ws-typst-server*:

Glad you like it!!

It seems like it's an issue with the typst-preview binary itself, I am able to reproduce it both in emacs and with the VS-code extension. I've created an issue in their github repo: https://github.com/Enter-tainer/typst-preview/issues/278

For the time being, I've checked that it works in Chrome, Safari and XWidget. If you've built your emacs with XWidget support, I'd recommend that until the typst-preview experts find a fix!

If you don't mind, I'll close this issue for now and update the readme with some firefox-specific guidelines.

This should be fixed now, see https://github.com/Enter-tainer/typst-preview/issues/278.
