New Note option not visible when canvas area is full #72779

Description

When attempting to add a new note to a block, the New Note interface does not appear if the canvas area is already filled with existing notes.

This issue seems related to limited available space in the canvas — once some existing notes are resolved or removed, the New Note interface becomes visible again and works as expected.

Step-by-step reproduction instructions

  1. Open a block and start adding multiple notes until the canvas area is fully occupied.
  2. Try to add another note using the Add Note option from the toolbar.
  3. Notice that the New Note interface does not appear.
  4. Resolve or delete one or more existing notes to free up space.
  5. Attempt to add a new note again — the New Note interface now appears correctly.
