createHint not working with the latest version of Chrome

[SudoHaugen]

Hello,

cVim 'createHint' function stopped working after I updated chrome to the newest version available (80.0.3987.100 32bit). I tested this on several computers which had a previous version of Chrome installed and createHint worked on all of them before I updated their Chrome (and it didn't work after the update). I have tested this with my own keymapping and with the standard keymapping

The latest version of chrome broke this because it deprecated Element.createShadowRoot. A fix has been submitted but has not been merged. For now you'll have to manually install the fix. Instructions here.

We're discussing the posibility of forking this into a maintained project as right now this project appears to no longer be maintained. See discussion here: #723

This is a dup of: #716
For a fix, see PR #719 or #724

i solved this issue only with one line of code, but unluckily, since this repository was not updates anymore, so i can not push my code, i will later try folk it and update the latest source code. but anyway it is works fine in my chrome now.

Yes I solved this problem in a similar way as you, but unfortunately you have to run the app in developer mode in Chrome which is not recommended due to security issues
