Offset highlighting

kiwimw · October 2, 2023

Hello,

Has anyone found a solution to page highlights on the desktop pdf viewer going off the actual page? When I highlight text the viewer highlights off to the right of the actual PDF page and the select highlight box also pops up further off in to the viewer (out of sight). I'm not sure why zotero has started to do this. Sorry for the poor description, it would be much easier to show a screenshot!

e.g

PDF border - highlighted text - edge of page - highlight highlight highlight...

Yes, a screenshot would be really helpful. Could you try to upload it somewhere and send a link?

This happens to me too. As you can see in the linked screenshot, I've scrolled as down as I possibly can, yet some of my highlights/annotations are still "displayed" outside the bounds of the window view. https://imgur.com/a/HpBTJA1

@aaaaaaaaaaaaaaa When does it happen? Do you know the steps to reproduce that?

@martynas_b, it's easy to reproduce on my machine. If I open a document that has fewer annotations/highlights than needed to fill up the whole left sidebar display, and then I add a couple more annotations, the annotations will flow out of the window bounds.

@aaaaaaaaaaaaaaa Yes, but we need more information to reproduce this. I.e. if you leave only one tab open does it still happen?

Have you noticed tags box or note editor overflowing in the library tab?

I'm way less capable than @aaaaaaaaaaaaaaa but I look to maybe have a different issue? https://docs.google.com/document/d/1FYeb0-GjVjBBqCHDh425Q8k7eal75uipNRfoobC_f1M/edit?usp=sharing

@kiwimw Seems like a PDF issue. Could you send it to support@zotero.org with a link to this thread?

Does it happen with other PDF files as well?
