Text annotation box does not fit the text content

Hello,

I would like to report an issue with text annotations in the Zotero PDF reader.

When I create a Text Annotation, the annotation box can be significantly larger than the text inside it, leaving a large amount of unnecessary empty space below the text.

The problem is that I cannot reduce the size of the annotation box without also changing the font size. When I resize the box, the text becomes smaller or larger, but the empty space inside the box remains.

For example, if the annotation contains several lines of text, the box may extend far below the last line even though there is no more text.

I would like this behavior to be fixed.

The annotation box should either automatically fit the text content, or its size should be independently adjustable without changing the font size. In particular, I should be able to keep the font size unchanged while reducing the height of the annotation box to fit the actual text.

This is especially inconvenient when using many text annotations, because each annotation can occupy much more space than the text itself.

System information:
- Zotero: 9.0.6 (ARM64)
- macOS: 26.5.2

Thank you.
