This is very useful, but in my experience buggy on Vector 2022. It works consistently well with the original Vector 2010. Is this the common experience for other editors? If so, could the extension switch the page theme prior to highlighting? Regards, ~~~~

What do you mean by “buggy”? I don’t usually use Vector 2022, but now I gave it a try, and found nothing unexpected or different to the Vector 2010 experience. P.S. Vector 2010 and Vector 2022 are called skins, not themes.

I'm on Firefox and Windows 10. If I run "Who Wrote That", I get:

I don't know if this will help narrow the bugs down but I used the add-on on the "Piri Reis map" article while working with a Good Article reviewer. Highlighting worked prior to the Good Article template: https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Piri_Reis_map&oldid=1170703711 But will not work on the Vector-2022 skin after the Good Article template is applied: https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Piri_Reis_map&direction=next&oldid=1170703711

I tried to run the pre-GA version of "Effects of climate change" but saw no change. If I go all the way back before it had either a GA "+" or a protected lock icon: https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Effects_of_climate_change&oldid=35858009 then the highlighting works.

I tested "David Grusch UFO whistleblower claims" which has the blue extended lock icon. The last version before protection ( https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=David_Grusch_UFO_whistleblower_claims&oldid=1166141665 ) will display highlighting correctly. The first version with the lock icon can't do highlighting: https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=David_Grusch_UFO_whistleblower_claims&direction=next&oldid=1166298023

Also, whenever highlighting breaks, it usually makes the text small, but this doesn't always seem to happen and isn't a big deal. Hope that helps, Rjjiii(talk) 15:56, 9 September 2023 (UTC)

Indeed it seems to get confused by indicators (GA pluses, protection locks etc. are indicators). Which makes sense, as the indicators were moved from next to the article title to below the article title – a change that may well confuse incorrectly written code.
