KNOWN and TRACK hotkeys assign value to wrong word during popup dictionary hover
I'm encountering an issue where using hotkeys to assign known and tracking values to vocabulary words is assigning the values to the wrong word. This seems to happen across all hotkeys I use (1, 2, 3, U, I, K, T).
This frequently occurs when mousing over bottom-of-screen subtitles. When hovering over the target word and viewing the popup dictionary, a hotkey press will trigger the message indicating the vocabulary word has been assigned "known", but this will frequently leave the target word unmodified and will have instead assigned values to the last selected word rather than the currently hovered (while the popup dictionary is open for the target word).
This does not happens every time, but I will say I encounter it frequently (ie. once every 3 or 4 hotkey uses) and should likely be easy to reproduce. I assume some current or focus is not being properly assigned while in the hover mode.
My current workaround is to remember to click every word prior to using hotkeys, but of course the whole point of hotkeys is to reduce the number of actions, so this is far from ideal.
This seems to happen across different keyboard language modes (US English, Simplified Chinese, Japanese).

@Dazzel can you replicate this if you install the extension in a fresh chrome profile? (to rule out interfering extensions)
