Description

Reproducible example: https://codepen.io/etpinard/pen/PZgPKx

  1. Click one of the annotations to edit it
  2. While still editing the annotation, click a separate annotation
  3. The newly-editing annotation will become editable, but the editable text appears in the top left instead of overlaying the annotation itself
