Text Edit Highlight bugged

Hi.

I have issues with selecting text/elements in Brave.

Whenever I select a text I CAN’T edit, it shows the blinking line you usually see when writing. Again, this is the text I CAN’T edit.

It gets even worse. Whenever I select photos, videos, or any element on the web page, the blinking line appears as if it were text.

The best example is on Instagram reels. I watch them in my browser and can’t use my down arrow to scroll down. It highlights the elements in the reel, like text, numbers, icons, or even the video frame itself. It keeps showing me the blinking line for editing text.

This only happens in Brave. I don’t know if I turned something on in the settings, but it’s been like this since the last update.

If you know what’s up, please let me know.

Looks like you may have enabled caret browsing on accident. Can you please open the browser and hit the F7 key and tell me if this resolves the issue?

Thank you

The text Caret wasn’t enabled.

I enabled and disabled it and now it all seems to be back to normal.

Thank you for the fix and the fast reply!
