Selection jumping to another annotation in the PDF Reader when changing color

mjthoraval
Steps to reproduce:
1) Open a PDF file without annotation in the Zotero PDF Reader.
2) Create two highlights
3) Click on the first annotation in the annotations pane
4) Change its color from a right-click on it
5) Click on the second annotation in the annotations pane
6) Change its color
→ The selection jumps to the first annotation.

    I still observe the same problem in the latest beta.
    This is quite annoying when organising my annotations, sorting them by color: the PDF view also jumps back to the first annotation, so I need to scroll down all the way again to find where I was working.

    Are you able to reproduce it reliably, or does it occur only intermittently?
  • mjthoraval
    The jumping behaviour when changing the color of an annotation is not always happening in the same way. I haven't digged the exact reason why, when and how it would jump.
    But the detailed steps to reproduce I have provided are completely reproducible, even in the latest beta.

    We now have a fix for that. Thanks!

    Thank you for the fix. The steps above are fixed, but it is still jumping for the following steps:
    1) Open a PDF file without annotation in the Zotero PDF Reader.
    2) Create two highlights
    3) Click on the first annotation in the annotations pane
    4) Change its color from a right-click on it
    5) Click on the second annotation in the PDF
    6) Change its color from a right-click on it
    → The selection jumps to the first annotation.

    I started seeing this now after upgrading from Zotero 7 to Zotero 9.03 (macOS Tahoe). Majorly annoying when the view jumps several pages away from the current location. Happens both when changing the highlight color from the annotations list in the sidebar, or directly from the highlights in the PDF view. For me this seems to be happening consistently whenever I change the highlight color.
