Unable to use keyboard to select text after focus moved away from the text's place

[cesm1980]

Describe the bug

After clicking with the mouse or even when activating other elements in the page with linkhints, in a webpage, the LinkHints.activateSelect command doesn't change the keyboard focus to the highlighted text associated after we type the letters, so nothing happens when trying to contract or expand the highlighted portion. The only way to make it work again is by manually clicking with the mouse on the text block, or reloading the page with F5, then activating the command again and typing the letters to trigger it, which does defeat the purpose of wanting to use this command. But If no other element in the page was interacted with or given focus, then LinkHints.activateSelect command works fine and i am able to contract/expand the highlighted part with the cursor keys as desired.

To Reproduce

Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. After a webpage, like google results for example is loaded, try opening a link of another element in the page, either with the mouse, using TAB or using linkhints, so that the target element gets focused on.
2. In case it opened the link into another tab, switch back to the initial page.
3. Try using the key associated with LinkHints.activateSelect and try selecting any text element on the page as usual. It will do nothing when trying to expand or change the highlighted portion, which worked fine before changing focus to other elements, meaning the keyboard focus is somehow still stuck on the last interacted element instead of the selected text portion.

Browser, OS and Vimium C versions

• Browser name: Vivaldi
• Browser version: 7.1.3570.42 (Stable channel) (64-bit)
• Browser name: Edge
• Browser version: 132.0.2957.127 (Official build) (64-bit)
• Vimium C version: 2.11.3
• OS name and version: Windows 11 Version 23H2 (Build 22631.4751)

Is there a way to solve this problem besides reloading the page or clicking with the mouse on the text element? I tried the nextframe and mainframe commands, and they have no effect at this.
