Problems with Overleaf visual editor and LanguageTool

Hello,

I have problems using the visual editor in Overleaf. It appears that it conflicts with the LanguageTool-chrome-addin.

I am using Ubuntu Linux 24.04, Chrome 131.0.6778.204 and LanguageTool-Premium. With several files, the Overleaf visual editor freezes and crashes with a SIGSEV when LanguageTool-addin is activated. As soon as I deactivate LanguageTool, everything works fine. Overleaf works fine with LanguageTool as long as I am using the code editor; the crashes only occur when the visual editor is on AND LanguageTool activated.

I have tried to delete all cookies, including 3rd party cookies, unfortunately this didn’t help. Is this a known issue and is there anything else, what I can do, to get Overleaf visual editor working together with LanguageTool?

Thank you very much,
yours Hermann Josef

Hi Hermann, would it be possible to get access to the Overleaf doc that causes this freeze?
