How to fix disappearing some of my text that I wrote or added on a PDF before? (It occurs on the latest version of Microsoft Edge browser) And then I have to click on the text so that I can see the rest of the text that I wrote before. I've attached two images to illustrate what I said. problem. Additionally, I don't want to enable New PDF Viewer in edge://flags to solve this problem because this pdf viewer reduces the quality of document and speed of working on that. Thanks for following up on this problem.

Thank you!!! This worked. I had already disabled the new pdf viewer and this was still plaguing me. I went in and made everything to arial and medium and disabled the Font behaviour.

Thanks for sharing the details. Try to turn OFF “Auto-fit text in text boxes”.
Edge sometimes auto-adjusts the size of the annotation text box and causes the bottom lines to disappear until you click inside it.
This setting is NOT visible in the normal UI.
How to disable it
See if this helps. If you need further assistance just let me know.
Best regards,
Kimberly
Thanks for guiding me. I tried this way many times, but it didn't work. this problem didn't exist, but it's occurring since my Microsoft Edge has been updated automatically. Is there any other way to solve this problem?
Appreciate this, but it did not work. I tried several times.
Force Edge to use the old PDF renderer WITHOUT enabling the new PDF viewer
This is not the same as the edge://flags toggle you don't want to use. There is a separate backend switch Microsoft didn’t expose in the UI.
How to do it
Right-click your Edge shortcut → Properties
In Target, append the following flag:
--disable-features=msPdfUnifiedLayering
Your target line will look like:
"C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft\Edge\Application\msedge.exe" --disable-features=msPdfUnifiedLayering

Ive just done edge://flags & set New PDF Viewer to Enable and its working.
The New PDF Viewer is simply more stable for annotations, even if earlier versions had quality or performance issues, Microsoft has been improving it, and clearly your build benefits from it.
