Bug! Highlight not deleted when cancelled.

So, I create a highlight on James 4:1. Later I want to cancel the highlight, so I "highlight" the highlight and click on the "cancel" (zero with a slash through it) and the highlight on James 4:1 disappears. Looks good… BUT … not so fast. When I created the highlight it did highlight the verse of James 4:1 and also create a Note of the highlight. Yet, when I cancelled the highlight, the Note of the highlight was not cancelled.

I think this creates a bunch of "fictious notes" where there are not real highlights for. My answer would be to …. when the highlight is cancelled (by highlighting the highlight in the verse) and pressing "cancel" (zero with slash through it) then the corresponding Note that was created because of the highlight, should be cancelled (deleted) also.

Thanks! 😎

    click on the "cancel" (zero with a slash through it)

    I have a problem with this statement - I don't have a "cancel" icon - I have a "no icon" icon for notes unless you are thinking of a different slashed circle than I.

    I agree that if a note that contains no information besides the highlight and its location and that has the highlight and location deleted, the note should be removed.

    Good observations. However, I think this might be more fitting as a new feature request than a Bug report, as I didn't read anything that identified abnormal behavior.

    We do have an open case for this bug. It's is supposed to work like the Ctrl+Shift+K keyboard shortcut and delete the note if the entire highlight is removed and if no text was added to the note. I've added a link to this thread in the case notes so that we can post here when it is fixed.
