Is the bug present when using the default Obsidian theme?
No
Is the bug present when snippets and plugins are disabled?
No (conflicts with PDF++)
Minimal theme version
7.6.0
Describe the bug
When embedding PDF "square annotations" (rectangular selections) using PDF++, tables do not scale correctly when Minimal Theme is enabled. This results in unwanted horizontal scrolling even when "Maximize table width" is set to "Fit to line width" in Style Settings. Setting a fixed "Maximum column width" in Style Settings scales the PDF embeds as expected.
The problem likely occurs because PDF++ rerenders the PDF images after opening the note, which appears to override or conflict with the theme’s styling and scaling behavior.
PDF++ adds annotations with this syntax: ![[file.pdf#page=1&rect=300,200,700,600]]
This issue does not appear in the default Obsidian theme or other community themes tested. However, it consistently occurs in all themes if the "Minimal Theme Settings" plugin is enabled (even if the Minimal Theme itself is not active). Within the Minimal Theme, the issue happens regardless of whether the Settings plugin is enabled.
