About Bug

Whenever I try to enable easyclick whilst hovering my cursor over something like a link, youtube video, or anything that causes the little link preview text in the bottom left to show up it causes win-vind to freeze for a few seconds until it does a left click on the spot. No hints get rendered. I tried it on a clean win-vind config, new edge profile, incognito mode, and a fresh install of Chrome. Other browsers like Firefox seem unaffected. I found these errors in the log file:

[Error] Too many posts were made to a semaphore.
[Error] An unspecified failure has occurred. (bool __cdecl vind::util::is_failed(long) noexcept)
[Error] easyclick failed. An runtime exception occurred: Could not update caches of UIAutomationElement. (void __cdecl vind::bind::BindedFunc::error_process(const class std::exception &))

Steps to reproduce

  1. Open Edge/Chrome
  2. Go into GUI Normal mode
  3. Put cursor above anything that triggers the link preview text in the bottom left (Youtube logo, youtube video, hyperlinked text, etc)
  4. Trigger easyclick
  5. Win-vind should become unresponsive for a few seconds
  6. It does a click on the spot and becomes responsive again
