Edge PDF reader comment issue

Hi all,

I tumbled upon an issue with Edge PDF reader, while adding comments in a PDF document. 

Issue

While adding comments in my document, everything was working fine until it wasn't (added around ten comments before it stopped working). Basically I'm able to open the comment popup and type my comment, but unable to validate it.

I did some digging online and found this tread (sadly closed) where user encountered the same issue.

I tried to work around the issue by restarting my browser, which did not help. However, it seemed to me that it's a mouse focus issue.

How to reproduce it

I got the issue while using two Edge windows side by side on the same monitor (each taking half the screen), while having a second monitor (that I use for other stuff) aside. The problem seems to solve itself somehow after some time when closing one of the two Edge window and putting the other in full screen.

When I try to add a comment, I first highlight the text, then clic on the comment button on the popup menu and type my comment. However, when I want to validate the comment, the wrong cursor is displayed when I hover the "validate" button (the text insert cursor instead of the hand). I have to clic once (the text in the PDF doc previously highlighted is no more) which change the cursor to an arrow, then another clic which closes the comment menu, whitout adding the comment.

Workaround

I managed to add a comment in this situation by typing the comment, then using the tab key to select the "validate key" and press the enter key, and it worked.

On a side note, I find it quite complicated to submit feedback, I think I spent a good half an hour before reaching this forum (I don't even know if it's the right place).

Anyhow, I hope it can help
