Anyone else having Edge browser mouse clicks not working (while chrome can do it)?

For some time now, and only on edge I can't click on the board with mouse, including the miniboards of the CAPTHCAs.

I test with chrome updated, and that did not happen.. I have mostly the same extension set in both.
I will try to make that exactly the same again. But if not extension related, anyone else having this.

This is not the first time, but it is lasting for a while now (some 30 minutes I have been aware). But it has happened recently too.

I will keep testing. It seems tother mouse clicks work just not over some objects like the board pieces. "cancel works". To write this post I have to be in chrome. In edge none of the board mouse clicks register.

Now just tested that I can edit this in edge, because edit no needing the CAPTCHA. (submit button working).

For the curious:
I have my reasons to use edge (it has verticals tabs a new old good thing that was forgotten during the web browser convergence (modernization), silly unescapable horizontal tab bar, in a 16:9 computer monitor world, chrome still oblivious).

I apologize.. My bad, but also windows 10 bad with its ridiculous font size patterns across the OS forcing ridiculous scaling everywhere. so I get my menu readable. now the web pages rendering is too huge on medium font. so using an extension that is fine grain zooming per site and tab, with memory.. not the browser zoom.

it seems that the layers between user input, board background and pieces coordinate get misaligned from that extension zooming process.. I more juggling to work around the silly new defaults. I am going to virtualize my old windows 7....
but there is no escape if I need the web technologies, I need the modern browsers, and the modern browsers are now nagging on windows 7, that the doomsday clock is approaching..

So use the browser zoom, not an extension that uses the browser API. (smells like old Microsoft web practices, OS tangled with web browser spirit, but now it might be chromium. (wait, i just used chrome, and it was not huge.

confirmed both edge and chrome font setting are on default medium.. but edge seems to be affect by the big scaling of windows 10 required for decent menu fonts.... customizing the user from the software design I guess. I will adapt... with enough ranting I might survive.
