Right-click on the highlighted text, then click Remove annotation.

Where you have to click may be a little off if you're looking at a math document. I got frustrated because when I was right clicking on the highlighted text, no option to remove annotation showed up.

But then I moved the cursor to slightly above the highlighted text and the cursor changed and then I was able to remove it. – Peeyush Kushwaha – 2018-05-18T07:10:58.443

And what if the annotation has no size at all? – Mark Jeronimus – 2018-06-26T14:37:31.697
