Read Aloud stopped working correctly earlier this week.

I love being able to high-light a paragraph or more, right click, then hit Read Aloud and it reads the selected text to me. Around Wednesday, October 19, 2022, I selected the text I wanted it to read and right clicked, and the option was gone.

I went to Settings and I do still have Read Aloud turned on and the icon is in the toolbar, but if I click on the icon on this page, it says "Missing host permission for the tab." I click the gear icon, and it has everything set correctly. If I select the text I want it to read and hit alt-p it starts reading, but stops before the end of the selection.

I did check the Update and it was last updated September 1, 2022, so I don't understand why/or how it changed.

Attached are two screen shots of what I'm getting and here is a link to a video of what is happening.

Thank you for any help you can give. I'd like for it to go back to the way it was before.

That is a Addon and you should contact Addon developer for support on their Addon issue of playback voice narration.

Oh, Duh. I knew that.
