Summary: PDF-links don't work as expected in text selection
mode.
Classification: Unclassified
Product: okular
Version: unspecified
Platform: Other
URL: https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=305592
OS: All
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: PDF backend
Assignee: okular-devel@kde.org
Reporter: m...@waeckerlin.org
There has been a «design decision» to disable links when text selection mode is
enabled. This is extremely unintuitive A lot of user get confused when
hyperlinks don't work as they would expect and there is no hint why hyperlinks
don't work.
Best solution: Reenable hyperlinks even in text selection mode.
Other possibility: At least show a message on the document (e.g. as hover-text
on the hyperlinks) saying that hyperlinks were disabled due to text selection
mode an that they'll work again as soon as the user reverts to browser mode.
As you can see in https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=305592 people are
confused and don't understand why links don't work.
Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. open document with links
2. chose text selection mode
3. click an link (try all three mouse buttons, even with
shift/controlm/alt-key)
Actual Results:
nothing happens
Expected Results:
jump to the link target
