Description

When you want to deselect the selected text in a web page, you can use mouse click. But Sometimes vimium may "block" the click and you need to click twice or three times even more. I've tried to disable and renable extensions and found out it is vimium that caused this problem.
Let me know if more infromation is needed. Thanks.
