For some reason, it has become incredibily difficult to remove elements from nybooks.com articles

Describe the bug I know this is vague, but if I choose "annotate and save the page" for nybooks.com articles such as this one, I find that moving the cursor over various elements usually does not display the dotted line that enables selection and removing by clicking

To Reproduce Steps to reproduce the behavior:

  1. Go to https://www.nybooks.com/articles/2020/06/11/covid-19-sickness-food-supply/
  2. Right click on SingleFile to choose "annotate and save the page"
  3. Enable removing of internal or external elements
  4. Hover cursor over social media icons (Facebook, Twitter, etc) in the right-hand margin

Expected behavior A dotted rectangle should surround those icons, but none appears Screen Shot 2021-05-27 at 5 04 32 PM Screen Shot 2021-05-27 at 5 04 24 PM

Or does the extension just not work properly on arm64 Macs?

I can reproduce the issue on Windows. It's due to the way the menu in the header of the page is hidden. Right now, I don't know how to fix this issue. However, you can circumvent it by enabling the removal of inner elements and clicking 3 times on the "Sign-in" link at the top right of the page. Then, you should see highlighted elements when trying to remove them.
