Open Pop-Up Note Context Menu Item - Behavior has changed

[ironick]

I'm using Version 10.2.1 build 385.

I recently upgraded to find my highlighting workflow no longer works. I normally highlight a section of text in a pdf and then right click on the highlight and select 'Open Pop-Up Note'. I do this so often it is deeply habituated into my muscle memory.

In the older version I was using, the cursor would be placed in the pop up note so I could immediately begin typing. That no longer happens. Now I have to mouse click in the pop up text area to activate the cursor there. However, if I double-click on the highlight it opens the pop-up note and activates the cursor in the pop-up text area.

Why are the two behaviors for opening a pop-up note (double clicking vs right clicking/menu) now different? Can you please restore the prior behavior to 'Open Pop-Up Note' in the context menu? It's annoying to have to retrain my deep entrenched muscle memory for my workflow for no apparent reason.

Thanks.

Hello, ironick

Thank you for bringing this up, I don't know why this changed, but I cannot think of an intentional reason for it. It may have just been something that was a side effect of another change, and was overlooked in testing. I will pass this along to the dev team, hopefully we can see it come back soon.

(If there is a reason for this change, I will be sure to come back and let you know)

Kind regards,

Thanks so much for your prompt reply, Dan. I look forward to having the behavior restored or a reason for the change explained!
