Please fill out the following sections to the best of your ability, it will help us investigate bugs if we have this information at the outset. Screenshots are especially helpful, so please provide those if you can.

**Platform** (Android, iOS, Website): Website

**Browser** , if a website issue (Firefox, Chrome, etc) : Chrome/Duckduckgo

**Description of problem** (please provide a set of steps we can use to replicate the issue, and make as many as you need.):

Step 1: Turn on “Disable Page Visibility API” a chrome widget

Step 2: Attempt to comment/ID

Step 3: Comment “Done” button doesn’t work, and IDing with a comment will just add ID and remove added text

Not necessarily a bug, as I was able to fix it by just disabling the API, I thought it may however be useful to note that this widget can disable the ability to comment. I have seen some forum posts about people are unable to comment because the “Done” button doesnt work, and I feel like having this here may help other people who havn’t figured out that the widget is causing this (if this is indeed the issue they are experiencing).
