Hi!

I still cannot reproduce the double clicking issue. I do notice a few potential issues in your code though.

1. You are creating an annotation named `newAnnot` but then importing an annotation called `textAnnot` into annotation manager (which does not exist)

2. You are not passing a dependency array to `useEffect` which means you may be mounting WebViewer multiple times, which will cause issues.

Also, I’m a bit confused about your last message. Is this a new error that is occurring?

Thanks,  
Logan
