[javascript bug v11.0.1] empty richContents overrides contents when creating annotation

[Mathew]

When a new FreeText annotation is created with doc.addAnnot(), if an empty richContents property is included it will override whatever is in contents (ie there will be no text in the annotation). This can happen if properties from another annotation are copied with annotation.getProps()

To reproduce:

Code: Select all

{
  const newProps = {
    type: "FreeText",
    contents: "This should have some text in it",
    page: 0,
    rect: [0,0,400,50],
    richContents: [], // annotation.getProps() will return empty array if there is no richContents
  }
  
  this.addAnnot(newProps);
}
