PDF highlighting disables after double-clicking on a recommended annotation

[amckenny]

Describe the bug

When using a recommender in PDF annotation, I get the gray highlights and bubbles. Double-clicking on the gray bubble does remove the recomendation as expected; however, after double-clicking on one of the gray bubbles to remove that recommendation, I am not able to click-drag to annotate anything anymore.

To restore this ability, I need to hover my mouse over one of the other gray boxes (clicking is not necessary). At that point, the ability to click-and-drag for annotation is restored until the next time that I double-click a recommendation to remove it.

To Reproduce

Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. Go to a PDF with recommender 'on'
2. Double-click on the gray bubble above one of the recommendations
3. Observe that the recommendation goes away
4. Attempt to click-and-drag over unannotated text
5. Observe nothing is highlighted
6. Hover over a recommendation bubble
7. Attempt to click-and-drag over unannotated text
8. Observe that selection is highlighted

Expected behavior

Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. Go to a PDF with recommender 'on'
2. Double-click on the gray bubble above one of the recommendations
3. Observe that the recommendation goes away
4. Attempt to click-and-drag over unannotated text
5. Observe that selection is highlighted

Thanks for the issue report and the explanatory video! Looks like the internal state of the PDF editor gets a bit messed up on a reject. I'll have a look.

The message about Relations cannot be created from/to synthetic annotations comes up because you all so slightly move the mouse between pressing and releasing the mouse button - and then the editor recognizes it as a drag action - and drag actions to create relations are not possible on suggestions (as the message says). It would probably be a good idea to look into that as well and make it a bit less sensitive.

Great - thanks for your help Richard!
