could you try cobalt in an incognito (or inPrivate) window to see if issue sticks? if it works fine, try disabling extensions one by one and please tell me which one was causing the issue. i'll try to look into it and contact the developer if needed!

Yeah in incognito it seems to work fine. I'll try disabling extensions one by one and comment here which one was the problem.
