Highlight function moves the pdf when highlighting

Question

Hi. When I use my stylus to highlight a sentence (on a pdf opened in ms edge) it moves the page in the direction I am highlighting in. How do I stop my screen from moving every time I try to highlight something? There was a recent update that gave the highlight multiple functions; it is now able to highlight pictures and diagrams as well as its original function which only highlights text. Now when the highlighter is in use it always moves my screen without highlighting what I need to highlight. I have tried zooming in and out to see if there were different outcomes, but every time I highlighted text the screen would move. Nothing seems to work.

Answer 2

Hi Eric,

It does this for all pdf's opened in Edge. I like Edge because it lets me write on the pdf compared to other readers. I have a Lenovo Ideapad Flex 5, in case you need the info. And I use it in tablet mode, but the issue happens in both tablet or laptop mode.

Hi Maya_994,

I would like to get more information about this. Are you experiencing this with a specific PDF file or any PDF files when trying to highlight with a stylus?
