Checklist

Please replace the space inside the brackets with an x if the following items apply:

  • I've restarted Anki to see if it helps
  • I've verified that I use the latest version of the add-on by redownloading it from AnkiWeb
  • I've verified that I use the latest version of Anki by checking at https://apps.ankiweb.net#download
  • I've tried to disable other add-ons to see if there are any interactions present
  • My issue disappears when I hold shift while starting Anki.
  • I've checked if anyone else reported this problem before by looking through the issue reports. I also checked to see if there is a section about known issues in the add-on description, documentation, or README.
