shapes at annotation tool are not working with apple pencil on iPad

Hello All,

I am using apple iPad (7th gen) with latest iPadOS 13.5.1 and apple pencil (1st gen) with latest firmware 2.61.

I am facing a problem with the annotation tool, here at annotation tool, there are shapes and annotation feature i.e. eclipse, rectangle etc. .When I am using shape annotation feature with my finger, these are working perfectly. But when I am using these shape annotation feature with my Apple Pencil then these are not working properly. It is just placing the shape in the middle of pdf page ( using books) and not able to move or resize shapes with Apple Pencil.

Please refer the screenshot. I placed the rectangle with help on annotation tool, shape option comes when we click on ‘+’ at bottom annotation tool. Further I am not able to move and resize it with Apple Pencil.

I did followed

1. Restart device multiple times

2. Used update option in iPad recovery mode using iTunes at Mac PC

3. Firmware update for Apple Pencil, although it already up do date

4. I also changed the tip of pencil

but it also not helped. I contacted support team multiple time but got no help for the issue.

iPad, iPadOS 13
