We made several bug fixes in Bb Annotate.

  • We fixed an issue where selecting a comment made the document turn opaque and the Close button no longer worked.
  • We resolved several visual inconsistencies that occurred after the latest update.
    • The group dropdown in the toolbar is now showing in dark theme.
    • Colors are consistent when hovering and selecting tools.
    • Dropdown menus are now always in white.
    • Buttons on the toolbar are white.
    • Bookmarks now all have the same color background.
    • The Save and Cancel buttons in the comment box are correctly aligned.
    • Anonymous comments can be added. o Comments can be customized when the comment box is open while the screen is resized.
  • We fixed an issue in Firefox where using the Backspace key made the cursor go to the top of the comment box when released.
  • The Save button now correctly displays in comment boxes instead of an up arrow.
  • Comment formatting options are available in Annotate Fit Width view while editing a comment.
  • When a link is selected within a comment, editing options remain available.

Asia Pacific: May 23, 2025
