BUG: Text highlighting does not work on some web pages #943

Description

@Asya-Yesayan

Is this issue related to missing content or incorrect conversion to Markdown?

  • No. This is definitely a Web Clipper bug.

Describe the bug

On some web pages, it is not possible to highlight paragraph text. For example, on the Claude Code documentation page, only the main title and section headings can be highlighted, while paragraph text cannot.

As a workaround, the page can be clipped to a local Obsidian note, where highlighting works normally. However, this is inconvenient and makes the workflow less comfortable.

Expected behavior

Text on the page, including paragraphs, should be highlightable.
