Force click look up sometimes doesn't work

Hi! I have a MBP M1 Pro with macOS Monterey 12.4 installed on it. I have been noticing that sometimes force clicking on texts within apps like Safari, Preview etc. doesn't do anything. I think it happens as soon as I put the machine on sleep after the restart because I know that restarting would solve the problems. But it's annoying that I have to do it every time. Is there any other workaround? Force clicking on files for a quick look up does work though, so must be a software issue/bug.

Thanks,

Dias

I couldn't recreate the problem in Safari, Preview, Mail or Brave on my M1 MacBook Air. I am on Monterey 12.5 however.

yeah I am not sure about the algorithm to recreate the problem. For me I think it occurs if I put my Mac on sleep and wake it up later, then force click lookup just stops working.

Maybe someone else will know. I never put my Macs to sleep, only the display.
