Got it. Scrollbars are definitely worse. Cut off some of the context text seems reasonable to me. It would be only a few characters.

For those cases, but in general when there are multiple matches it can be arbitrary amounts on content even a whole match.

Released version 9.6.100 with grouping for the browse annotations tool and full offline mode support for the content server if you enable HTTPS (sadly stupid browser manufacturers refuse to allow offline mode without HTTPS)

Perhaps hide unused colours in restrict dropdown?

Also what I thought was magenta is apparently red, huh.

Knowing a color is unused basically requires scanning all annotations which is too expensive.

Is it being expensive also the reason composite columns aren't included for sorting? I just noticed that myself, though its not really a problem.

You mean grouping? Yes, grouping only works with columns like series or tags or authors that group books under values. composite columns assign an arbitrary possibly unique value per book. So to group by them one has to evaluate the composite template on every book.
