There is this great Chrome extension “Grammarly for Chrome” that helps you to improve the text you write. It highlights grammar problems and makes suggestions on how to fix them or improve our text in other ways:
Unfortunately, this doesn’t work in Discourse input fields. The extension gets added to the input field and also highlights the problems, but you can’t click the highlights to get the suggestions. From my usage Discourse is the only location where this doesn’t work, so I assume Discourse is doing something that breaks this functionality.
Strange, it was functioning inline for me up to about a month ago when it stopped. I assume an update by Grammerly broke it. I didn’t bother asking because when I have in the past their response was corporate indifference. One of the cultural attributes that keeps me rooted in and supportive of communities like Discourse. I may not get the answer I want, but I never get a hint of indifference or old school corporate stonewalling.
Correct. Any Grammarly underlines in the first line of text don’t work, as the “hover” is misaligned and one row above the actual underline. You can easily work inline with any issue not on the first line of the composer. As Sam said, this is an issue for Grammarly.
Thank you for contacting Grammarly Customer Support!
Please rest assured that the technical team is aware of the problem and they are currently working on it.
Unfortunately, this will not be a quick fix and I cannot provide you with an estimated timeframe, as the developers will need some time to analyze the cause of this issue.
I’m going to close this case, but if you have further information regarding this issue, please reply to this email and the case will be re-opened for further investigation. We apologize for any inconvenience caused.
Best wishes,
