使用的是Windows,在网站点击下一页时存在一定的概率不显示高亮,需要刷新一下页面才会重新显示,能修复下吗

Imádom! Álláskeresésnél használom. Ahogy egymás után nézem az álláshirdetéseket hírlevél vagy keresés alapján, egyből kiemeli az általam előzőleg beállított kulcsszavakat. Pl.: felsőfokú, jogosítvány, vezetési, SQL, Linux, műszak, ügyelet, szakirányú stb. Bármi, ami az adott álláshirdetésnél kizáró ok. Be lehet állítani több domaint, weboldal címet, illetve cím részletet, vagy akár az összes meglátogatott oldalon is kiemelheti az adott szavakat, egyenként beállítva. Nagyon logikus és kényelmes a beállítása, a használata.

It is great, however has some issues. 1. Some highlights disappear randomly. 2. I really wanted this for the list feature on the right, as it helps with navigating a long page I frequently use. However it seems about 1/3 to 1/2 of the time, clicking on the list just makes the whole list disappear instead of moving directly to the word on the page. With that I have to turn off and on the extension, which defeats the time saving purpose.
