2020-10-18 22:09:50 ownedbycats description Calibre 5.3.0, Windows 10 Steps to replicate: 1. Annotate a section. 2. Use ebook-editor to modify the ePub in a way that the annotation highlight is no longer in the correct place. (In my case, I removed a bunch of <p> </p>s from a fanfic). 3. Use "modify this highlight" on the broken annotation. I would've expected that this would allow me to re-highlight the section without losing my notes. Instead, it just silently failed. I was able to recover by grabbing my notes from the annotation browsers and re-creating it entirely. Thank you. Calibre 5.3.0, Windows 10 Steps to replicate: 1. Annotate a section. 2.
