Even worse is that it is quite easy to accidentally create highlights that make
it almost impossible to show
the annotation, even when you know it exists. I do not understand the details
of how it happens, but
-I highlight some text in yellow
-Then I double click on the yellow highlight, the popup note box appears and I
enter some text
-Later I double click again on the same yellow text, to read or update the
annotatoon text, but
an empty popup note appears.
After some investigation, it turns out that often new and smaller highlights
are being produced that overlap with the desired
highlight. They cannot visually be distinguished and it is not clear that more
than one highlight exists.
The popup text is associated with these small (non deliberately created)
highlighted regions instead of the highlighted text.
>From this point on, the only way to find the annotations is to double click
randomly in the yellow region (you
cannot tell that this is actually multiple overlapping yellow regions) until
you see a non-empty popup window.
What I have also done at this point is
-when double clicking and finding an empty box, right click in exactly the same
location and delete the empty popup note
-do that multiple times until all highlights with empty annotations have been
removed
-the remaining highlight is then usually very small (one character) and not the
original highlighted text
that I intended to annotate. (And the intended highlight is of course now gone)
All of this makes annotations extremely unreliable. The goal of annotations is
to inform someone else about how to improve
the document. If that someone else uses okular, they will not see the
annotations and not even find them easily because random clicking
until something appears sometimes requires many trials.
In acrobat, the annotations do appear, so I have to advise the reader to use
acrobat instead of okular (and I do not want to give
such advice).
This is with version 24.08.0 on fedora 40.
