1. When highlighting text "too slowly" the tiled popup won't show. Time to select text and the popup to show should be longer. Is there a way to increase that?
2. In search fields, auto close the popup when start typing on (on-screen keyboard and regular) would be nice feature to have.


Does it happen on all websites?

What OS / FF ver are you on?

If i highlight text fast and stop at the end for 1-2 seconds (still holding mouse button down), the auto opening popup never opens. Even tested with two different mice.

(edit) I'm seeing it now. I've got a 1s timeout to cancel the auto after the last change in selected text. I'll add a setting for you slowpokes

I can't reproduce that bug. I assume you're using the Auto opening method? I've tried going super-slow and never had the popup fail to open.

If the problem persists, open an issue at the support site and I'll work through some troubleshooting with you.

Again, I'm assuming you're using Auto AND you enabled popups on input elements? That seems like a reasonable option to add. Look for it in the next release.
