Description of the issue:
When highlighting text to lookup a definition and then scrolling the page this will sometimes create artifacts of the popup that stay on the browser regardless of which page you’re on.
Steps to Reproduce:
Launch Brave
Visit any website, highlight text by clicking and dragging on the text. Select ‘Look up “[Selected Word]”’ to see the definition popup.
Scroll away (up or down) while popup is active. You may have to try multiple times.
Actual Result:
Definition popup artifacts stay on the browser and remain there on every browser page and tab until the application is restarted.
Expected Result:
The defintion popup window should not remain on the screen and should be closed.
Reproduces how often:
It may take a few tries, but I’m able to get the bug each time I try and use the definition popup.
Brave Version:
Version 1.66.118 Chromium: 125.0.6422.147 (Official Build) (arm64)
Reproducible on current live release (yes/no):
Yes
Additional information:
I’m using macOS Sonoma Version 14.5. I have multiple input keyboards selected: U.S., Hebrew, Greek, Japanese - Romaji, and Japanese - Kana in my settings. This may possibly contribute to the bug. There’s a mix of RTL and LTR languages.
@spidercam,
Thank you for reaching out.
I was able to reproduce this initially but for some reason I can’t do it for the life of me now. Either way I did see the bug and it can be extremely annoying.
Have opened this issue on our Github for our devs to review:
