Zotero 7 Beta: Error when adding a Select Area annotation to a note

edited January 26, 2024
In the PDF Reader of a PDF file, I cannot return to the list of notes if a Select Area is added to a note.

Steps to reproduce:
1) Open a PDF file in the Reader
2) Make a Select Area annotation
3) Select the Notes from the sidenav
4) Create a new Item Note and open it
5) Drag and drop the Select Area annotation to the note
6) Click on the left arrow < at the top of the Note Pane
7) Go back to the note that was just created
8) Click on the left arrow < at the top of the Note Pane
-> Nothing happens

  • Actually, the annotation steps are not needed (steps 2 & 5).
    You just need to open the Child Note twice from the Reader to trigger the bug.
    The TypeError is generated at step 8: D2067626421
