[Problem Android] Zotero stopped work with S-pen

igoracguimaraes
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.

    Same problem for me, Samsung Galaxy Tab S9, Zotero Version 1.0.0-263 (beta), Android Version 16, One-UI 8.0, S-Pen Software Version 146.
    I can use the pen when I click the little "pen-button" in the header, but only when the writing tool is selected. When the pen-mode is active, I can't use my fingers to select and highlight text. When the pen-mode is not active, I can't use the pen at all but I can select and highlight text with my fingers.

    Same problem for me.

    Zotero Version 1.0.0-263 (beta).
    Samsung Galaxy Tab S6 lite, Android Version 14, One-UI 6.1. With the standard S Pen that came with the tablet.

    I uninstalled zotero from the play store and reinstalled it, but same problem.
    I am annotating pdf. Do you want us to test epub?

    In fact, I am able to write 1 letter (one stroke) in the margin, but not more. One stroke per pdf. I am not able to highlight, add text box, erase.

    I have the same issue with a Boox. It seems like the pen is not working in the pdf nor epub reader. It works for navigating the app (moving the list view, opening article, selecting annotations/search etc.) but not for doing anything to the pdf. It does not look like Zotero registers the pen if I try to move the text, if I try to press one of the page previews in the preview bar, if I long press a word, if I first select an annotation option and then "annotate" the text.

    I'm also on the 1.0.0-263 (beta?) version. The Boox is old, Note air 2 plus
