Hi Otared, Many thanks. Could you kindly open the pdf I sent as well? How does that look?
Here, on Windows 11, the bars do not appear on sumatra, adobe, or nitropdf.

I see both bars correctly.

Is is a bug? A second question: Is either mechanism preferable over the other? That is: In LMTX, what is the best mechanism to use? Thank you in advance for any guidance.
