Description

Hey, I just noticed that although Harper can show errors in Google Docs, It will not correct them when I click on the button. I have to do it manually.

Is there a way to fix this? My zoom is at 100%, as I looked it up and some suggestions said to be sure of this.

Sorry if it's something easy that has already been answered, this is my first day using Harper and I just want to make sure everything works.

I am using brave browser.

Research direction

Reproduce the correction action in Google Docs with Harper running in Brave at 100% zoom, and record whether errors appear while the correction button has no effect. Trace the browser-extension entry point responsible for applying corrections; done means a suggested correction is applied successfully in Google Docs and the behavior is covered by a reproducible check.
