Hi, Still translating en:Machine epsilon. Next problem : one section seems to be stuck. Just clicking on my translation to be able to type stuffs, it does not happen. The mouse cursor is an arrow while I expect it to be the usual vertical pipe with the two small horizontal lines on top on bottom that is shown when the area it points to is an editable text.

Tried several stuffs to unstuck it, like change the translation engine and change it back. Nothing works. When I switch back to "Yandex" (the initial settings) my text is shown back and the usual blinking vertical pipe cursor is shown on the very beginning of the edit zone, but weirdly typing anything on the keyboard has no effect.

Only a reloading of the page worked.

Working a little bit more, I encoutered a similar probem - but not identical.

Here a part of the editzone is unclickable (the lower one) while I can click on the upper one. This allows to use the arrows of the keyboard to browse to the stuffs I want to edit.

I used the zoom previously to be able to view the entire table so it might be a problem due to this - maybe the editable zone are out of sync with on screen display, that would explain why the cursor does not change appropriately. Maybe a bug in the computing on where the editable zone are on screen that is triggered for example by zooming in and out

I'm using firefox. Maybe It's not your fault but my browser one :) Don't know if the translate tool does something to compute the edit zone position dynamically.
