highlighting on reddit is kinda broken
It's possible to highlight by right-clicking a selection, and using the 'Highlight with Memex' option, but click the highlight button in the hovering selection widget doesn't work. Also, sometimes experience weird issues with reddit, where a section of highlighted text will disappear, no highlight was made, and the text is no longer selectable (because it's invisible)

It works fine for me, assuming that potentially another extension gets in the way as something similar happened to another user?
Potential causes:
- Ad blockers block our script injection
- Other extensions that modify the HTML code in some way and that hijack click events.
It would be super helpful though if you can make a short screen recording if that's possible.

It's caused by this CSS selector, can't figure out where that is defined though:
:not(:defined):not(faceplate-auto-height-animator,faceplate-dropdown-menu,faceplate-expandable-section-helper,faceplate-hovercard,faceplate-tracker) { visibility: hidden; }This selector is applied to Memex highlights. If I disable the style then the highlight appears.

Is it possible that this is another extension interfering here?
Meaning can you try to disable other extensions and see what happens then?
Also can you send me an example link on where this happens, and which text I need to highlight to reproduce this?
