iOS Reader -- how to stop the comment pane from opening automatically

[Gerry31101452ctnx]

This bug just started.  Now when I click on a highlight or graphic, comment pane automatically opens on right side blocking my view.  I can't find any option in iOS to shut that off.

Does anyone have solution?

I have this problem too! I want to disable the comments pane automatically popping up on the right side of the pdf.

Using the free Acrobat Reader v23.07.01 (20230809.182710) on my iPad Pro v16.6

hi Gerry31101452ctnx and K-L-F,
Thank you for contacting us. Would you mind to update the latest Acrobat Reader 23.08.00 which is available now in App Store and see if the issue still happening?

Thank you for your patience.

Hello, I just did the update and opened a pdf. Yes it is still the same problem.

I already have this version.  No change.  Problem still exists.  Is there an option in iOS version to turn this off?

I'm having this problem in Acrobat Pro. Only, I had it, and then I didn't for a whille, and now it's back again. It makes highlighting my text book nearly impossible. Beyond fustrating.
