| May 9, 2022 at 19:24 | comment | added | Quantum spaghettification | @Gilby It seems like this is a fairly generic problem given it's effecting me, Koretelly and rdelrossi - and presumably others. I think this excludes any hardware problem - I also get it when using different hardware. Here is an example case for me: View arxiv.org/pdf/1807.00462.pdf (a randomly chosen arXiv article) in the browser , ctrl+F 'answering', scroll to the 2nd page and try and select text. For me this doesn't work. I have no extensions installed. | |
