Description
I have noticed on the latest version of vimium there is a helper text when finding a link "Open link in new tab".
The problem with this helper text is the link letters are covered "under" the helper text so you cannot see what keyboard shortcut to choose for any links that are in the bottom right of the screen.

Research direction
Start by reproducing link-finding on a page with links near the bottom-right of the screen and observe the “Open link in new tab” helper text. Inspect the link-hint and helper-text entry points; done means the helper text no longer covers the link letters or hides the keyboard shortcuts.
