Strange behavior on Manuskript with Grammarly for Windows #1225

Open FastusNumen opened 1 year ago

FastusNumen commented 1 year ago

I know that there's no plan to add Grammarly to Manuskript, but there's something that's been bothering me for a while.

I have downloaded Grammarly for Windows and it works in many of the applications that I've used until now, excluding Libre Office and maybe a few others. I don't know if it should or not, but it also somehow works with Manuskript. I say somehow because while I get the suggestions, as soon as I accept one, or I start writing, they disappear, and I have to change the window and go back to see them again.

I wanted to inform you, just in case. I don't know if others have seen the same behavior.

OS: Windows 11 Manuskript version: 0.15.0

From my Perspective, it's looks like that Grammarly change some System behaviors, so it could be used with software is not coded to work with it!

So this bug is more likely on Grammarly side than on Manuskript, it would be good to file there a Bug-Ticket also!

I also cannot verify this, because, no version for Linux!

Probably it's just Grammarly's problem.

With Libre Office, it doesn't work at all, though. I don't know if it's because Grammarly doesn't detect the window or if Libre Office has something that blocks external apps. I created this issue in the small chance that something like that was added here. If not, then all's fine.

LibreOffice blocks the access of its window from other application, when I remember correctly, implemented by the French Army!

Well, it makes sense to add something like that for security reasons.
