The margin is necessary to have room for the width of the line, as you can
change that. Otherwise you'd get drawing artifacts, e.g. when you move the
freehand note.

It's only marginally inconsistent. I think it wouldn't be nice if we would cut
off the note while drawing, and we can't move it to fit of course. So I see no
alternative. As for the clipping up to the page shadow, that's done by PDFKit,
we have no control over that. The fact that it happens is another reason why we
shouldn't try to move notes outside the page bounds. As for Preview, you're
wrong, it's also uses PDFKit (and it does not have freehand annotations).
