Android: Shifted highlights after mathematical symbols

    Hello,

    Thanks for the Android app - I generally like it and use it regularly. I would like to report one bug and one feature request enhancing the experience:

    Bug: In engineering publications, I often encounter the issue that after certain mathematical symbols, suddenly when trying to mark text, the marking gets shifted and does not align with words anymore. One example is https://arxiv.org/pdf/2404.11735 where on page 3 in section "Exponential coordinates", the last inline equation for f(omega) seems to shift the marking suddenly by one character for the remaining of that page. In other publications, I've seen extreme shifts accumulate, rendering the marking functionality unusable as the marking is significantly shifted.

    Feature request: In Zotero desktop, colored labels in the overview allow to very easily see which papers I've already read. In the android application, it is extremely tricky in a large library to figure out which publications I have still to read. The only way for me currently is to check which publications I already added a note to as this appears as a small icon in the overview. Many publications, however, already have a note attached from importing (for example where the publication was accepted and where presented), making it very cumbersome to use. Having the colored labels in the overview, for example next to the authors, would be amazing.

    All the best,
    Julien
