Issue with FreeText Annotations – Deprecated DOMNodeInserted Mutation Event
Please describe your issue and provide steps to reproduce it:
Good day,
There is a year-old thread discussing the same problem.
And I am now encountering the same issue when working with FreeText Annotations. However, when I switch to Rectangle or Redact annotations, everything works without any problems.
Hello, I'm AiRon, an automated tech support bot 🤖 While you wait for one of our customer support representatives, I can help you with your question.
The issue you're encountering with FreeText Annotations likely stems from the deprecated `DOMNodeInserted` event, which can cause unexpected behavior in modern web environments. This event is part of the older Mutation Events API, which has been replaced by the more performant MutationObserver API. The complication arises when FreeText annotations rely on these older events for updates or changes.
Some things you can try:
Consider updating your implementation to use MutationObserver instead of relying on deprecated events.
Check if there are any available updates or patches for the WebViewer that might address this issue.
Try isolating the issue by creating a minimal example to confirm that the problem is indeed related to the deprecated event.
Ensure that your FreeText annotation handling does not directly depend on deprecated browser events.
The development team is aware of the deprecation and it is on our radar to be addressed.
The warning is caused by a third party dependency (Quill), but based on testing the deprecated event should not impact WebViewer functionality.
Quill recently released a new major version which removes use of this deprecated event and we’re evaluating the impacts of upgrading. We don’t have a firm timeline at this time.
