Problem with Annotations in Pdf Reader

rewa
When I click on one of the annotations in the left pane in the Pdf reader, I cannot change the text. Also, there is a little lock icon at the above right of each annotation. When I right-click, a menu pops up with the among others the choice to delete the annotation, but it is not highlighted and does not function. I suppose I have to change a setting, but I can't find out where.
Thank you for your help.

    Might have to do something with the Pdf belonging to a group library?

    Editing annotations made by other users isn't allowed in group libraries. You should also see the username next to the lock icon.

    But there is no username and I wrote the annotations myself

    So maybe that annotation hasn’t been imported from the PDF file yet? Does using File → Import Annotations… help?

    No!

    ok, now I closed Zotero and opened it again. I opened the closed Pdf again and the annotations containt my username and are changeable.
