Zotero 7 Beta: annotating experience for Book should be improved

Since the release of Zotero 7 Beta 29 and later, the annotation experience for books (pages number >1000) is worse than that of Zotero 7 Beta <29. It is not fluent, even like Zotero 6.

It's exciting that Zotero 7 Beta 29 and later brings the support for new annotation tools and new filetypes, however, fluency and quick response are more important.

Expect it will be improved. Thanks a lot.
  • Do you mean it's slower with large PDF files? What exactly is slower?

    Are there more issues?
  • Yep, the response is not instant, especially between the selecting of annotations. For example, first I select one highlighted text, then click any other places of the PDF, the response is very slow. Also the focus speed of annotation in the preview sidepane is not quick.
  • Now if you close the annotation sidebar does the performance become normal again?
  • You are very right, it gets normal after closing the sidebar. Expect this problem to be solved in the future betas.

    Thanks a lot.
