Since the last update, i can't do any annotations or use any other features from the Toolbar using the pen of the tablet.
And yet, the use of fingers for selecting text are facing some problems and bug here and there.

My hardware is a Samsung Galaxy Tab 10 FE

What app version do you have? Are you on Beta?
With S-pen are you trying to edit a PDF or EPUB?
When selecting text with fingers what kind of bugs do you encounter?

Same problem on Lenovo Tab M11 and Lenovo Tab Pen with Beta 1.0.0-263.
The problem occurred while trying to edit a PDF; I did not try it with an EPUB.
The pen stopped working altogether, and it was impossible to use the annotation tools with fingers.

I think that it is a very similar behavior as in my case

I am also experiencing the same thing. It appears that I can't annotate with and without the S-pen. Please resolve this.
