@lengjian I wasn't able to find that thread until after I submitted this post, so I apologise for that, but interestingly enough, yours has a third VB code.
VB-86526 was the one I found initially, VB-89876 is the one mentioned in your thread, and VB-95233 is the one mentioned in this thread.
Which makes me wonder if they are similar (but different) issues, or just duplicates.
I know a public issue tracker is not going to happen (and I understand why), but it'd be nice to know if these are related, when they were opened and their priority number.
English is my second language, and this is an incredibly useful accessibility feature. For now I've been relying more on Spotlight (by copy-pasting the word), but it's more convoluted (and thus, way less efficient) than just force-clicking.
I wouldn't be surprised if this bug has a low priority number, as with any accessibility-related feature, it's only a niche that needs them. It's understandable, though, Vivaldi's a small team and the browser has a relatively small user base, so this bug affects a niche of a niche.
But I'd be interested to know the status (including the priority number) of these three VB codes (mostly the last one (VB-95233) as that was the one mentioned in this thread), as that version you mentioned is quite a few years old.
