Preview 11.0: Notes in PDF acting strange

I use plenty of annotations in Preview, but "sticky notes" is not something that I use often.

Since I am marking students' assignments, I prefer to type text annotations directly.

That said, I tried a few notes. (By the way, Command-Control-N is a handy keyboard shortcut).

I find that if you click and drag just a bit, you can then press delete and it will work.

If you simply click, it opens the note, and then of course delete just deletes the text in it, not the note itself.

To close an open note, just click outside the note.

Thanks for taking the time to answer! Do you annotate with the simple text feature ( « A » icon in a rectangle)?

Yes, that is what I use (except that, instead of clicking that icon, I prefer to use the respective keyboard shortcut - Command-Control-T).

s for the issues I experience with creating notes, not be able to move them, … I’ll further investigate on my side

Let us know.

What does it mean "from the relevant side bar"?

Otherwise, I already told you how: click and do a slight drag on the note, then press Delete.
