Program actually works almost as expected. From dev's answer "wysiwig editors are typically using content editable html5 mode. Bug Magnet works with content editable divs." Yes, the plugin won't work for each and every input field, because under the hood they are different. But if you open "normal" input field like google.com search or classic old school input fields - the Bug Magnet will work!
