wallabag
Annotation button disappears
Sometimes a user has to scroll a page or do something else (like extract stylus on Samsung Note) to see the Annotate option in the menu. Occasionally, the user can see an option, but it hides when the user tries to select more text by dragging selection border points.

I can also reproduce this issue. After selecting text, one has to scroll some pixels in order to get the annotate button.
It looks like two different menus. One of them - for text, other contains 'Add tag', 'Annotate'...
This is also happening with me!
(Though I'm happy to have discovered a trick where annotate works!)
It also happens to me on all my devices. It's nice to hear that there's a workaround. I hope it gets fixed too ☺️
I can't annotate at all either. I select text, scroll up and down, but no annotation buttons appears.
EDIT: This worked for me in the end, as a workaround
- Select some text.
- Scroll up or down until the highlight menu is out of sight.
- Scroll back
- Click the three-button menu
- Annotate is here.
Thanks! I was thinking the highlight/annotate feature was simply not implemented, great to know this tip, works on mobile.
However, it doesn't work in my Boox Note Air 3 (Android 12). The scroll tweak invokes the "Add tag" button, but "Annotate" is not showing. There is also no three-button menu... any clues? It would be great to have Wallabag working in eInk!
I see the same behaviour as @mirenbz on my Boox Go 10.3. I bought it specifically for reading and annotating, so this is a huge bummer.
I found a fix in calling invalidate() when the menu is created. This should fix this issue because the menu is refreshed before it is shown.
Great! Any way to test this? I'm already on the latest release v, 2.5.3, but I see it's from May.
