Annotation times cannot be used to get corresponding data

[drammock]

Description of the problem

I have some (manually-created) annotations for a raw file. I want to pull out the data from a particular channel, from the start to the end of that annotation. Either I'm making a really dumb mistake, or this is surprisingly difficult to do. It's clear that the problem has to do with first_samp (and I could subtract raw.first_samp somewhere in my code to get the right result) but it feels like this should be easier / "just work".

Steps to reproduce

import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
import mne
import numpy as np

fname = mne.datasets.sample.data_path() / "MEG" / "sample" / "sample_audvis_raw.fif"
raw = mne.io.read_raw_fif(fname)
annot = mne.Annotations(onset=3, duration=1, description="test")
raw.set_annotations(annot)

ann = raw.annotations[0]
data = raw.get_data(picks=[0], tmin=ann["onset"], tmax=ann["onset"] + ann["duration"])[0]
plt.ion()
fig, ax = plt.subplots(layout="constrained")
ax.plot(np.arange(len(data)), data)

raw.plot(picks=[0], start=ann["onset"], duration=ann["duration"])

Expected results

1. when I call raw.plot(start=raw.annotations[0]["onset"], duration=raw.annotations[0]["duration"]) I would really like to see the data corresponding to that annotation span
2. when I call raw.get_data(tmin=raw.annotations[0]["onset"], tmax=raw.annotations[0]["onset"] + raw.annotations[0]["duration"]) I would really like to obtain the data corresponding to the annotation span

Actual results

NB: although sys_info() below says I'm on 1.11.0, I get the same results on main --- just happened to be in a project venv when I stumbled on this.
