Yet again the Microsoft Edge PDF annotating text box is not formatting text properly / cutting text off

Yet another display of incompetence from developers and testers of this browser.

    This worked for me:

    Edge Settings -> Appareance -> scroll down and search for Fonts and then:

    Font size: Medium

    Minimum font size: Medium

    Standard font: Arial

    Serif font: Arial

    Sans-serif font: Arial

    Fixed-width font: Arial

    Then go to edge://flags/ -> Reset all -> Restart Edge

    Then once again edge://flags/ -> Search for "New Pdf viewer" -> Disable -> Restart Edge

    That should do it.

    Hi,

    You may already be aware that this is a bug, as many users have reported the same issue. The best step is to send a report by pressing Alt + Shift + I so the team can look into what’s causing it and work on a fix. For now, I suggest using a different PDF editor temporarily at least until they resolve the problem.
