BUG with the Highlight Color Change Option in IPAD air 2024

[alex_6211]

In the attached video, I show the bug that occurs when I open a PDF document in Adobe from my iPad Air; both the iPad and the Adobe app are fully up to date. Basically, when I select a portion of text and tap "Highlight" it only shows the color I currently have selected and doesnt display the full range of colors to change it. Instead, it only shows the option to adjust the shade of the currently selected color. Surprisingly, if I minimize the app at that moment, switch to any other app, and then return to Adobe, the color palette does appear. However, once I select a specific color and try highlighting text again, Im back to only being able to adjust the shade of that specific color. I would have to use that same "trick" I discovered (minimize-switch app-return to Adobe) to get the color palette to show up again.

On the other hand, if I use the Highlight option from the toolbar on the left, I can change the color BEFORE highlighting any text. However, if I try to change the color AFTER highlighting, the issue described above happens again.

This is clearly a BUG, which for some reason Ive only noticed on the iPad. On my iPhone, both the color palette and the shade adjustment options appear as expected when highlighting text in a document.

If anyone knows how to solve this BUG or can provide me with a contact to report it to ADOBE directly, I would greatly appreciate it, as this community is the only place Ive found to report this issue.

Thank you in advance!

Regards, 

Alex

I've experienced the same issue with the Adobe PDF highlighting on my iPad too!
