1851498 - FreeText annotation isn't displayed

Status: VERIFIED FIXED

(Firefox :: PDF Viewer, defect, P1)

Description

[Calixte Denizet (:calixte)]

Attachment: hello.pdf

STR:

• open the pdf.

It should display "Hello World" but the page is empty.

The pdf contains a freetext annotation without any contents which implies that no popup will be created for it and consequently the annotation layer doesn't have a section for it. But in order to make the freetext annotations editable, they've their own canvas but this one cannot be inserted in the annotation layer because their parents don't exist.

It's a regression from bug 1838799 and especially from:
