I'm always happy to hear this :).<br>

<pre>Today I experiences an unexpected bug, when I inserted comments into my document using the pdfcomments package and pdflatex. If I scroll to the page that contains the comment (verified by external pdf view), the preview hangs and I have to enforce quitting Texworks.

Unfortunately, I don't have a Mac to test this with. On Linux,
everything seems to work fine with the following minimum example:<br>
<p style="margin:0px;text-indent:0px">\documentclass{article}</p>
<p style="margin:0px;text-indent:0px">\usepackage{pdfcomment}</p>
<p style="margin:0px;text-indent:0px">\begin{document}</p>
<p style="margin:0px;text-indent:0px">\pdfcomment{Test}</p>
<p style="margin:0px;text-indent:0px">\end{document}</p>
<br>
*) Does this minimal example cause the hang for you?<br>
*) In your tests, does the hang occur as soon as any part of the
page becomes visible (even if the annotation itself is not yet on
screen)?<br>
*) In your tests, which page layout (continuous or single page,
zoom to width/zoom to page/... did you use)?<br>
<br>
Best,<br>

No hang under Windows 7 even with adding some text around the
comment (but the text "Test of the comment doesn't appear, I just
have a blue bubble - but I do not know how to use the package!!) :<br>
\documentclass{article}
<p style="margin:0px;text-indent:0px">\usepackage{pdfcomment}</p>
<p style="margin:0px;text-indent:0px">\usepackage{lipsum}</p>
<p style="margin:0px;text-indent:0px">\begin{document}</p>
<p style="margin:0px;text-indent:0px">\lipsum[1-10]</p>
