Setting the border width of link annotations may cause the border thickness, length, or underline to appear slightly odd

Post by rakunavi »

Hello all,

When setting a border width for link annotations, I noticed slightly odd display behavior in the two cases listed below. Details for each are shown in the video, so please refer to it. As usual, all settings are reset at the beginning of each case, so please view them with that in mind.

Case A

  • Case A-1
    • When you set a border width for a link and transform its shape from Rectangle to Quadrilateral, the border width becomes approximately half as thick.

    Case A-2
    • Additionally, if you set the border type to underline at that time, the line is drawn along the top edge of the Quadrilateral instead of the bottom edge. The result is exactly the same if you set the border type to underline first and then later transform the link shape from Rectangle to Quadrilateral.

    Case A-3
    • Furthermore, moving the vertices causes the corners of the line to be slightly and unnaturally clipped.

Case B

  • When the link shape is the default Rectangle, setting the border width and the border type to underline causes both ends to shorten slightly depending on the line thickness. Compared to setting the border to underline in a form's text field, the difference in length is clearly noticeable.

Hoping that the above information will be of some help to you.
Thank you so much for your continued support.

Best regards,
