deAsturies 0 Posted April 7, 2012 Share Posted April 7, 2012 Hi,when I clip a page using evernote web clipper on Chrome, I can't change it's selection (using UP, DOWN arrow keys).And when I make mouse click somewhere on web page (after pressing up/down keys) - a part of the page is selected (different from proposes selection).OS: Windows 7 64-bitChrome version: 18.0.1025.151 (up to date at current moment)Web clippers version: 5.2What can be the problem ? I've tried reinstalling extension, but without success. Link to comment
jsbmsu 0 Posted April 7, 2012 Share Posted April 7, 2012 I just signed up for Evernote today and tried the web clipper in Chrome. I don't know how it's supposed to behave, but it feels broken, just like you describe.The little help legend in the upper left says what the cursor keys do, but the cursor keys do nothing. I thought the legend was buttons, and I tried clicking it and anything else on the selection-masked web page, and the mask disappears, and all the page content is cursor-highlighted.I assume this means the extension is broken.Same OS / Chrome / Extension versions as you.

En L 0 Posted April 11, 2012 Share Posted April 11, 2012 I got the same problem since the last update.In addition, the pre-selected area of article is less precise than the previous version. In the previous ver., it was almost 99% accurate, though sometimes it missed out some headlines or other particulars in some websites such as FT.com and WSJ etc. Yet the accuracy of current ver dropped to less than 70% from my own experience.In sum, there are two problems.1. Inability to alter the selection of the clipping2. Significant drop in accuracy of selecting the main text on a webpage.My PC config:Win XP SP3Chrome: 18.0.1025.151 mEvernote web clipper: 5.2 Link to comment
jbignert 473 Posted April 11, 2012 Share Posted April 11, 2012 Hi all, we are working on a fix for adjusting the article selection via arrow keys on WIndows. Thanks for the report.It appears there is a bug in Chrome 18http://code.google.com/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=111660 We'll have a fix / workaround in the next release. Link to comment

jbignert 473 Posted April 17, 2012 Share Posted April 17, 2012 New version 5.3 is out. Go to the Chrome Web Store or wait until the auto update kicks in ( restart Chrome ). Let me know if this issue persists. Link to comment
jsbmsu 0 Posted April 25, 2012 Share Posted April 25, 2012 I can change the selection now, but now in the Save Article drop-down, the choice to actually Save Selection is disabled (greyed out and cannot be chosen). Link to comment
jsbmsu 0 Posted April 25, 2012 Share Posted April 25, 2012 I think I misunderstood the options. Save Selection only applies to what you actually "paint" with a cursor, whereas save article saves as much of the article as you adjust the initial selection to cover.I would point out this is rather confusing. If I use cursor painting, I'm still able to use my arrow keys to adjust the selection box, and perhaps even move the selection box completely away from the text I had painted with my cursor. But then I click Save Selection (which is still the option offered to me unless I change it, since I started by cursor-painting), and it saves what I painted, NOT what I moved the selection box to.I can see how it seems like it should all be obvious, but do you guys see why I would say it's also potentially confusing?

gambloide 0 Posted August 1, 2014 Share Posted August 1, 2014 The problem is here again in Evernote v. 6.2.2 (0862ece/1.1.0.654) in Chrome v. 36.0.1985.125 m. Can't adjust the selection with the arrow keys. Link to comment
jbignert 473 Posted August 1, 2014 Share Posted August 1, 2014 You probably have keyboard shortcuts disabled. There was a problem in the last release that forced us to make them disabled by default for new installs. In the next version we will create an exception for arrow keys to adjust article selection to make them work even if user has general shortcuts disabled. In the meantime you can:- Choose to enable keyboard shortcuts on the Clipper Options page.- Use the graphical + & - buttons until the next release comes out. Link to comment
