Description

I'm trying to block a gif at the bottom of the page on stupidedia.org but after using the element picker to remove the element and reloading the page, the gif is not blocked but reloaded.

The filter that gets added when I block the page is this:
||www.stupidedia.org/skins/autodoc.gif

A specific URL where the issue occurs.

https://www.stupidedia.org/stupi/Stupidedia:Hauptseite

Steps to Reproduce

1. Go to https://www.stupidedia.org/stupi/Stupidedia:Hauptseite
2. Click the ub0 icon, click the "Remove element permanently" button.
3. Select the "autodoc" banner at the bottom of the page.
4. Click "Create" in the panel that contains the ||www.stupidedia.org/skins/autodoc.gif filter.
5. Reload the page

Expected behavior

The banner remains blocked.

Actual behavior

After reloading the page, the banner reappears.

Refresh while bypassing the cache and test again (for windows it's Ctrl + Shift + R, I don't know what are the shortcut keys on MacOS though).

• (tobbi:) I checked the documentation to understand that the issue I am reporting is not normal behavior.

From documentation: https://github.com/gorhill/uBlock/wiki/Element-picker#element-picker-does-not-work-removed-element-reappears-when-you-reload-the-page

Element picker does not work, removed element reappears when you reload the page
There may be many different reasons for this.

• If this is a network filter, you may need to bypass the browser cache when you reload the page by holding down the Shift key when you click the reload button.

If someone is missing a finger(s) (even one hand) or the length of their hand, they can also use:

Ctrl/⌘ Command + F5

When we do not like the function of sticky keys (the system remembers previously pressed Ctrl and Shift keys).

Another reason may be an error in saving the simple cosmetic filter in the my filters tab (rare and requires collecting logs to determine where it comes from and whether it can be fixed).
