Thanks all, just to add some context, my setup might be a bit particular since I use dwell clicking rather than a physical mouse click. With that, I tend to move the pointer away fairly quickly, which made the hover-based explanation easy to miss at first. So it may just be me. Might be worth wai... (more) |

@#93904 Moderators deleting my posts on the grounds of [non-existent policies](https://meta.codidact.com/posts/295093) are not a great way to motivate me to write a thesis for each question. The rarity of responses due to the overall user inactivity on Codidact doesn’t help either. (more) |
