1528687 - PDF annotations not properly rendered in integrated PDF viewer

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 1538111

(Firefox :: PDF Viewer, defect, P3)

Description

[Malte Röntgen]

Attachment: annotationsExample.pdf

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Ubuntu; Linux x86_64; rv:65.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/65.0

Steps to reproduce:

I created a small example pdf and put a highlight-annotation on the first word "Lorem". Note that this is just a very basic example to show the problem of Firefox not properly rendering highlighted text.

Actual results:

Firefox does not properly render the annotation; it is therefore invisible. However, hovering with the mouse over the invisible annotation displays the annotation's text.

Expected results:

Firefox should display the highlighted text in the corresponding color (in the example pdf, the word "Lorem" in the first line should be yellow).

If it matters, I am using Firefox on Linux.

This doesn't appear to be a regression since bug 741239: I tried 24/25/26 nightlies and they wouldn't render the annotation at all.
