PDF Annotator 8.0.0.833
Fixed:

- The "Square" and "Circle" properties were ignored when creating a tool favorite.
- While editing text annotations, the key combinations Ctrl+Arrow would not work within the text editor, but move the whole text box. Now, press Alt in addition to Ctrl to move the text box. Same applies for text box resizing with Shift+Arrow.
- Canceling a measure with Esc and undoing the last point with Backspace did not work any more


PDF Annotator 8.0.0.832
- Changed: Predefined line widths now correspond to the same physical width on any device
- In previous versions, the six predefined line widths ("Thin" to "Very thick" under the "Line
Width" dropdown menu) resulted in different physical widths, depending on your screen settings
(dpi), so that they were different from case to case. This has now been fixed.
- Also, the predefined line widths in fullscreen mode (in the quick configuration box, clicking the active tool button a second time) have been set to the same values as in regular (windowed) mode.
- Note: These changes do not affect already defined tools, favorites, stamps or annotations.

Improved:
- "Auto-Smooth" can now differentiate better between sketches and text, to avoid unintended snapping of lines to written text. Also, exactly horizontal/vertical lines keep their orientation when "snapped".
- The Shift key (e.g. when drawing squares or circles) now always inverts the current setting. For example, drawing a square can be forced by pressing Shift while the "rectangle" setting is active. Drawing a rectangle is forced by pressing Shift while the "square" setting is active.
- When restoring deleted strokes/objects with the Undo command, these will be re-inserted at the original position above or below other elements.
- When resizing selected objects or drawing objects (lines, circles...) with pen or finger, the Windows default behaviour "Press and Hold" got invoked, if the pen or finger was not moved immediately.
