wilfried.phil...@wphilips.eu <wilfried.phil...@wphilips.eu> changed: What |Removed |Added ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- CC| |wilfried.philips@wphilips.e | |u --- Comment #2 from wilfried.phil...@wphilips.eu <wilfried.phil...@wphilips.eu> --- 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. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
